SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) mission is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. EDA accomplishes its mission by helping our partners across the nation (states, regions, and communities) create wealth and minimize poverty by promoting a favorable business environment to attract private capital investment and jobs through world-class capacity building, planning, infrastructure, research grants, and strategic initiatives. EDA’s strategic investments in public infrastructure and local capital markets provide lasting benefits for economically disadvantaged areas. Acting as catalysts to mobilize public and private investments, EDA’s investments address problems of high unemployment, low per capita income, and other forms of severe economic distress in local communities. EDA also provides special economic adjustment assistance to help communities and businesses respond to major layoffs, plant shutdowns, trade impacts, natural disasters, military facility closures, and other severe economic dislocations. EDA must comply with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 which requires Federal agencies to develop performance measures, and report to Congress and stakeholders the results of the agency’s performance. EDA must collect specific data from grant recipients to report on its performance in meeting its stated goals and objectives. II.

On February 24, 2011, we selected an additional mandatory respondent, Shaoxing Liangbao Metal Manufactured Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shaoxing Liangbao’’) as a replacement for Jiaxing Boyi.4 Shaoxing Liangbao’s response to Section A was due on March 26, 2011.5 However, Shaoxing Liangbao did not submit a response by the stated deadline or request an extension. On March 28, 2011, as a replacement for Shaoxing Liangbo, we selected another additional mandatory respondent, Pu Jiang County Command Metal Products Co., Ltd. (‘‘Command Metal Products’’).6 However, Command Metal Products did not submit a response, or request an extension, to the Department’s Section A questionnaire by the deadline, April 18, 2011.7 On April 29, 2011, we selected an additional two mandatory respondents, Shaoxing Guochao Metal Products Co., Ltd.

Statutory Time Limits Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. Consistent with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it is not practicable to complete the review within a 245-day period. Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results The preliminary results are currently due on July 3, 2011. This administrative review now covers three mandatory respondents and requires that the Department gather and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each of these companies. Moreover, because several previously selected mandatory respondents were unresponsive, the Department went through numerous rounds of selecting additional replacement mandatory respondents. Thus, the Department requires additional time to fully analyze the initial questionnaire responses and issue supplemental questionnaires prior to the preliminary results. This extension is also necessary to give all parties to the proceeding adequate time to supply the Department with information related to the mandatory respondents’ factors of production. The current date of the preliminary results does not afford the Department adequate time to gather, analyze, request supplementary information, and allow parties to fully participate in the proceeding. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results within the original time period and thus the Department is extending the time limit for issuing the preliminary results by 9 See Letter to Guochao Metal Products from Catherine Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9, Import Administration regarding the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Steel Garment Wire Hangers from the People’s Republic of China: NonMarket Economy Questionnaire (May 2, 2011); see also Letter to Yiwu from Catherine Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9, Import Administration regarding the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Steel Garment Wire Hangers from the People’s Republic of China: Non-Market Economy Questionnaire (May 2, 2011).

Foreign-Trade Zone 59--Lincoln, NE; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Lincoln Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
FTZ 59, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the 
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170-1173, 
01/12/09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09); 75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/
10). The ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or 
reorganization of general-purpose zones and can permit significantly 
greater flexibility in the designation of new ``usage-driven'' FTZ 
sites for operators/users located within a grantee's ``service area'' 
in the context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 
a general-purpose zone project. The application was submitted pursuant 
to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the 
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on 
May 12, 2011.
    FTZ 59 was approved by the Board on August 27, 1980 (Board Order 
163,45 FR 58637, 09/04/80), and expanded on June 25, 1993 (Board Order 
646, 58 FR 36389, 07/07/93). The current zone project includes the 
following sites: Site 1 (5.7 acres)--Lincoln Airpark West Industrial 
Park, 4521 NW. 36th Street, Lincoln; and, Site 2 (372 acres)--Lincoln 
Airpark North Industrial Park, 2400 West Adams Street, Lincoln.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Lancaster, Otoe and Seward Counties, Nebraska. If approved, the grantee 
would be able to serve sites throughout the service area based on 
companies' needs for FTZ designation. The proposed service area is 
within and adjacent to the Omaha Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 2 be so exempted. Because the ASF only 
pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the 
application would have no impact on FTZ 59's authorized subzones.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Camille Evans of the 
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and 
information presented in the application and case record and to report 
findings and recommendations to the Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is 
July 18, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to August 2, 2011.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
