Award extensions and their additional funding described herein will be made at the sole discretion of MBDA and the Department of Commerce using the following evaluation criteria: (1) The MBEC’s overall program performance rating during the 2009 program year; (2) the availability of appropriated funds; and (3) MBDA’s and the Department of Commerce’s priorities. MBDA will review each of the MBEC’s overall performance ratings as evaluated through the standardized performance reports and assessments required under the MBEC Program to determine which projects will be offered an extension. MBDA will prioritize those MBEC awards meeting the above criteria that also have current award periods scheduled to end on or before January 31, 2010. In addition, although MBDA is allowing the award period for all of the above-referenced MBEC projects to be extended, it is possible that not all projects will be offered an extension and that some or all awards will be extended for less than a nine-month period. A total of approximately $1.1 million in FY 2010 funds is available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, Public Law 111–117, to fund award extensions for the MBEC projects referenced in this notice. MBDA also anticipates that additional appropriated funds will be available in FY 2011 to fund award extensions for those MBEC projects not receiving extensions during FY 2010. In no event will MBDA or the Department of Commerce be responsible for any costs incurred outside of the current award period by the incumbent operators of the MBEC projects affected by this notice if the MBEC Program fails to receive funding, or if an award extension is not made because of other MBDA or Department of Commerce priorities. Publication of this announcement does not oblige MBDA or the Department of Commerce to award any extensions or to obligate any available funds.

SUMMARY: On April 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on hot– rolled flat–rolled carbon–quality steel products from Brazil and Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The Department has conducted expedited (120–day) sunset reviews for both orders pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

be made at the sole discretion of MBDA and the Department of Commerce
using the following evaluation criteria: (1) The MBEC's overall program

the current award period by the incumbent operators of the MBEC
projects affected by this notice if the MBEC Program fails to receive
funding, or if an award extension is not made because of other MBDA or
Department of Commerce priorities. Publication of this announcement
does not oblige MBDA or the Department of Commerce to award any
extensions or to obligate any available funds.
