SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice of initiation of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain orange juice from Brazil. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 74 FR 19042 (April 27, 2009). The
period of review is March 1, 2008,
through February 28, 2009, and the
preliminary results are currently due no
later than December 1, 2009. The review
covers two producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise to the United
States.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping order within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further
VerDate Nov<24>2008

provides, however, that the Department
may extend the 245-day period up to
365 days if it determines it is not
practicable to complete the review
within the foregoing time period. We
determine that it is not practicable to
complete this administrative review
within the time limits mandated by
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because
we are unable to conduct verifications
required for both respondents before the
preliminary results. Therefore, we have
fully extended the deadline for
completing the preliminary results until
March 31, 2010. The deadline for the
final results of the review continues to
be 120 days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
This extension notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: October 22, 2009.

• Credibility and Outreach:
Candidates will be able to relay and
leverage SGIPGB messages through the
stakeholder community, contributing to
underlying consensus building goals of
the SGIPGB.
• Recognition: Candidates will be
recognized experts in their technical
fields of endeavor.
• Commitment: Candidates will be
committed to contribute time and effort
to SGIPGB activities.
EnerNex Corp. currently serves as the
SGIP Administrator. A Candidate
Evaluation Team established by the
SGIP Administrator will consider
proposed candidates against the criteria
listed above to determine their
eligibility. The SGIP Administrator will
present a slate of eligible candidates for
voting within the Stakeholder
Categories and for the at-large positions.
Organizations that have registered as
SGIP members will then vote to select
SGIPGB members between 5 p.m.
Eastern, Monday, November 16, and 8
p.m. Eastern, Wednesday, November 18.
To become a member of the SGIP an
organization must register using the
instructions at this Web site: https://
collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/
view/SmartGrid/SGIP.
Active participation in the SGIPGB
offers a unique opportunity to accelerate
and shape the standards-based
information, telecommunications and
control architecture for the future
electric system from generation to enduse. Governing Board members are
expected to invest significant effort in
guiding the activities of the SGIP,
advancing Priority Action Plans (PAPs)
and lists of standards, guiding the
development of a conformity assessment
framework, and guiding the
development of an architectural
direction and reference framework
through maintenance and evolution of
the NIST conceptual architectural
model. This means that investigation
and presentation of concepts and results
are natural components of this work. A
serious commitment to attend meetings
and review relevant material is required.
Members will be expected to contribute
between 5 percent and 15 percent of
their time to SGIPGB activities
(including attendance at a minimum of
two face-to-face meetings per year, with
a similar minimum number of Web
conferences).
