Dr. Ehrhart requests a five-year
research permit to continue long-term
studies of sea turtle populations in three
disparate habitats on Florida’s Atlantic
coast. Project 1 would occur in the
Indian River Lagoon System, Project 2
would occur over the Sabellariid work
rock reefs of Indian River County, and
Project 3 would occur in the Trident
Turning Basin, Cape Canaveral Air

population structure, trends in relative
abundance, habitat utilization, sex
ratios, physiology, genetics,
zoogeography, and epidemiology of sea
turtles in these habitats. Turtles would
be captured using tangle and dip nets.
For Project 1 researchers would
annually capture, flipper tag, passive
integrated transponder (PIT) tag,
measure, weigh, blood sample, tissue
biopsy, lavage, photograph, and/or
remove epibiota from: 100 loggerhead,
260 green, 3 Kemp’s ridley, 2 hawksbill,
and 1 leatherback sea turtle. Up to 10 of
the green sea turtles would have a
transmitter attached to the carapace
annually. For Project 2 researchers

tag, measure, weigh, blood sample,
tissue biopsy, lavage, photograph, and/

metal from the Russian Federation for
the period April 1, 2008, through March
31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 74 FR 25711 (May 29, 2009).
The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due

BILLING CODE 3510–22–S
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to make a preliminary
determination within 245 days after the
last day of the anniversary month of an
order for which a review is requested
and a final determination within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary determination is published
in the Federal Register. If it is not
practicable to complete the review
within these time periods, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the preliminary determination to a
maximum of 365 days after the last day
of the anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review by the current deadline of
December 31, 2009, because we require
additional time to analyze a number of
complex cost–accounting and
corporate–affiliation issues relating to
this administrative review that have
been raised by parties to the proceeding.
In addition, we plan to verify the
questionnaire responses submitted for
this review which will require
additional time.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2), we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary
results of this review by 120 days to
April 30, 2010.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777 (i)(1) of the Act.
