SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 9, 2010, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils
(S4 in coils) from Mexico for the period
July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009. See
Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils
From Mexico; Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 75 FR 47780 (August 9, 2010)
(Preliminary Results). In the Preliminary
Results, we invited parties to comment.
In response to the Department’s
invitation to comment on the
preliminary results of this review,
respondent, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox
S.A. (Mexinox) submitted (1) a request
for a public hearing and (2) a case brief
on September 8, 2010. See Letter from
Mexinox, titled ‘‘Stainless Steel Sheet
and Strip in Coils from Mexico—Case
Brief,’’ dated September 8, 2010
(Mexinox’s Case Brief). Also on
September 8, 2010, Allegheny Ludlum
Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, and
North American Stainless (collectively,
petitioners), submitted a case brief. See
Letter from Petitioners, titled ‘‘Stainless
Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from
Mexico—Petitioner’s Case Brief,’’ dated
September 8, 2010 (Petitioners’ Case
Brief).
On September 9, 2010, the
Department received a request from
petitioners to extend the deadline to
submit rebuttal briefs and on September
13, 2010, the Department granted this
request. Petitioners timely submitted
their rebuttal brief on September 15,
2010. See Letter from Petitioners, titled

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
‘‘Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils
from Mexico—Petitioners’ Rebuttal
Brief,’’ dated September 15, 2010
(Petitioners’ Rebuttal Brief). Also on
September 15, 2010, Mexinox submitted
its rebuttal brief. See Letter from
Mexinox, titled ‘‘Stainless Steel Sheet
and Strip in Coils from Mexico—
Rebuttal Brief,’’ dated September 15,
2010 (Mexinox’s Rebuttal Brief). On
September 17, 2010, Mexinox withdrew
its request for a hearing. See Letter from
Mexinox, titled ‘‘Stainless Steel Sheet
and Strip in Coils from Mexico—
Withdrawal of Hearing Request,’’ dated
September 17, 2010.
On November 17, 2010, we issued a
letter to petitioners notifying them that
we were rejecting their Case Brief
because it contained new information
regarding the U.S. entities that
petitioners believe are purchasers of
certain merchandise. Also on November
17, 2010, we issued a letter to Mexinox
stating that we were rejecting its
Rebuttal Brief because it also contained
new information regarding the U.S.
entities that petitioners believe are
purchasers of certain merchandise. On
November 22, 2010, Mexinox submitted
its revised Rebuttal Brief, and on
November 23, 2010, petitioners
submitted its revised Case Brief. The
current deadline for the final results of
this review is December 7, 2010.
Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the final
results of an administrative review
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within the time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the 120
day time period for the final results up
to 180 days.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete this review
within the original time frame because
additional analysis must be performed
with respect to several complex issues
raised by the parties, such as Mexinox’s
cost of production, contemporaneous
matching, etc. Accordingly, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the final results of this
administrative review until no later than
January 6, 2011, which is 150 days after
the date on which the preliminary
results of review were published.
This extension is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
24, 2010, the U.S. Chief Technology
Officer and Associate Director for

address-national-challenges). The SubCommittee includes leaders of executive
branch agencies and commissions that
have an interest in, or are involved with,
technical standards. It is co-chaired by
Patrick Gallagher (Director, National
Institute of Standards and Technology,
U.S. Department of Commerce).
Information about agencies participating
in this Sub-Committee, and its charter is
available at: https://www.standards.gov/
standards_gov/
nstcsubcommitteeonstandards.cfm. By
examining the various methods that
Federal agencies use to engage in
standards-development activities in
partnership with the private sector, the
Sub-Committee on Standards intends to
develop information on how Federal
agencies may engage more effectively in
the standardization system in a manner
that is consistent with the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 1 and the Office of
Management and Budget Circular A–
119.2 In support of this objective, the
Sub-Committee is interested in
perspectives on (1) the effectiveness of
the methods Federal agencies have used
to engage in standards-setting activities
by identifying which methods have
enhanced or limited the public-private
standards-setting processes; (2) the
effectiveness of Federal agencies
coordination with the private sector;
and (3) the adequacy and availability of
Federal resources; and (4) other issues
that arise and are considered during the
standards setting process which impact
the process, and the timeliness,
adoption and use of the resulting
standards.
Request for Information
The objective of this request is to
inform the development of case studies
that will examine the effectiveness of
Federal agencies’ participation in
standards-setting efforts led by the
private sector. The case studies would
provide agencies information on lessons
learned from Federal agency
engagement in standards development
for technologies that are complex, multidisciplinary, exhibit system-type
characteristics, and involve multiple
government agencies, and addressed
specific national priorities. Issues
impacting U.S. competitiveness such as
the interplay of standards with

intellectual property, competition, and
innovation are also significant
considerations in these technology
areas. These case studies may inform
decisions about Federal agencies’
engagement in standardization for
technologies with similar
characteristics. The questions below are
intended to help frame the issues and
should not be construed as a limitation
on comments that parties may submit.
Comments containing references,
studies, research, and other empirical
data that are not widely published
should include copies of the referenced
materials. All comments will be made
publicly available.
The Sub-Committee on Standards is
specifically interested in comments that
address the questions below as they
relate to the following technologies:
1. Smart Grid.
2. Health Information Technology.
3. Cyber Security.
4. Emergency Communications
Interoperability.
5. Radioactivity Detectors and
Radiation Monitors (ANSI N42.3x and
N42.4x).
6. Other technologies involving
significant Federal agency participation
in standards setting.
For the purposes of this notice, the
term ‘‘standards’’ and the phrase
‘‘standards setting’’ is used in a generic
manner to cover both standards and
conformity assessment development.
State and local governments, standardssetting organizations, industry,
consumers, manufacturers, solution
providers, and other stakeholders are
invited to respond. Responses should
identify the technologies involved as
appropriate.
Standards-Setting Processes, Reasons
for Participation and the Benefits of
Standardization
Emerging technologies offer great
potential for delivering new and
improved products and services in the
global economy. Standards can enable
further innovation and enhance the
value of these new technologies. Federal
law and associated policy guidance has
expressed a general preference for
Federal agencies to rely on voluntary
consensus standards, in lieu of
government unique standards, through
the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 and Office of
Management and Budget Circular A–
119, which encourage agency staff to
participate in standards-development
activities led by the private sector, as
appropriate.
Recognizing that stakeholders
participate in standards-setting
activities for varying reasons, and in
