Needs and Uses: The Office of Management and Budget’s Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (‘‘Peer Review Bulletin’’ or PRB) establishes minimum peer review standards for influential scientific information that Federal agencies intend to disseminate. The PRB also directs federal agencies to adopt or adapt the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) policy for evaluating conflicts of interest when selecting peer reviewers who are not Federal government employees (Federal employees are subject to Federal ethics requirements which address conflict of interest). For peer review purposes, the term ‘‘conflict of interest’’ means any financial or other interest which conflicts with the service of the individual because it could: (1) Significantly impair the individual’s objectivity; or (2) create an unfair competitive advantage for any person or organization. NOAA has adapted the NAS policy and developed three confidential conflict of interest disclosure forms which will be used to examine prospective reviewers’ potential financial conflicts and other interests that could impair objectivity or create an unfair advantage. The forms are for peer reviewers of studies related to government regulation; peer reviewers of any other influential scientific information subject to the Peer Review Bulletin; and potential reviewers of scientific laboratories. The forms include questions about employment as well as investment and property interests, and research funding. All three forms also require the submission of a curriculum vitae.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On June 14, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel standard pipes and tubes from India. See Certain Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipes and Tubes from India: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 33578 (June 14, 2010). The review covers the period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. The final results of the review are currently due no later than October 12, 2010. Extension of Time Limit for Final Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final results up to 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within the original time limit because we need additional time to analyze certain complicated issues relating to the universe of sales and the date of sale. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the final results of this review by 24 days until November 5, 2010. E:\FR\FM\15OCN1.SGM 15OCN1

    Type of Request: Regular submission (renewal of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 320.

    Needs and Uses: The Office of Management and Budget's Final

PRB also directs federal agencies to adopt or adapt the National 
Academy of Sciences (NAS) policy for evaluating conflicts of interest 
when selecting peer reviewers who are not Federal government employees 
(Federal employees are subject to Federal ethics requirements which 
address conflict of interest). For peer review purposes, the term 
``conflict of interest'' means any financial or other interest which 
conflicts with the service of the individual because it could: (1) 
Significantly impair the individual's objectivity; or (2) create an 
unfair competitive advantage for any person or organization.
    NOAA has adapted the NAS policy and developed three confidential 
conflict of interest disclosure forms which will be used to examine 
prospective reviewers' potential financial conflicts and other 
interests that could impair objectivity or create an unfair advantage. 
The forms are for peer reviewers of studies related to government 
regulation; peer reviewers of any other influential scientific 
information subject to the Peer Review Bulletin; and potential 
reviewers of scientific laboratories. The forms include questions about 
employment as well as investment and property interests, and research 
funding. All three forms also require the submission of a curriculum
