SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
25, 2009, notice was published in the
Federal Register (74 FR 42861) that a
request for a scientific research permit
to take shortnose sturgeon had been
submitted by the above-named
organization. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant is authorized to
conduct a five-year scientific study of
shortnose sturgeon in the Delaware
River where primary study objectives
are to locate and document nursery
areas, individual movement patterns,
seasonal movements, home ranges, and
habitats of juvenile shortnose sturgeon
using telemetry. The project will be
coordinated with an ongoing Atlantic
sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus
oxyrhinchus) study having similar
research objectives. Annually, up to 100
shortnose sturgeon will be weighed,
measured, examined for tags, marked
with Passive Integrated Transponder
(PIT) tags and Floy tags, photographed
and released. Additionally, a subset of
up to 15 juvenile shortnose sturgeon
will be anesthetized and implanted with
acoustic transmitters. One unintentional
mortality is authorized over the five
year term of the project where sampling
is scheduled from March 1 to December
15 each year.

Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
At the request of interested parties,
the Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain stainless steel bar from Brazil
for the period February 1, 2008, through
January 31, 2009. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 12310
(March 24, 2009). On October 29, 2009,
we extended the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of the review by
90 days until January 29, 2010. See
Stainless Steel Bar From Brazil:
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 74 FR 55812
(October 29, 2009).
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
order for which a review is requested
and a final determination within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary determination is published.
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 of the order.
See also 19 CFR 351.213(h).
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review by the current deadline of
January 29, 2010, for several reasons.
Specifically, the Department has granted
the respondent, Villares Metals S.A.
(Villares), several extensions to respond
to the original and supplemental
questionnaires. Thus, the Department
needs additional time to review and
analyze the responses submitted by
Villares. Further, the Department
requires additional time to review issues
such as corporate affiliations and steel
grades of products reported by Villares
as they will affect the Department’s
matching methodology in this case.
Finally, in response to the petitioners’
cost allegation submitted on September
9, 2009, we initiated a cost investigation
on October 28, 2009, and received
Villares’s cost information on November
23, 2009. As a result, the Department
requires additional time not only to
review and analyze Villares’s cost
information but also collect additional
cost information. Therefore, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of this review by
30 days until March 1, 2010.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2).
