SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On April 19, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated the countervailing duty investigation of bottom mount combination refrigeratorfreezers from the Republic of Korea. See Bottom Mount Combination Refrigerator-Freezers From the Republic of Korea: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 76 FR 23298 (April 26, 2011). Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than June 23, 2011. Postponement of Due Date for the Preliminary Determination Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary determination in a countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on which the Department initiated the investigation. However, the Department may postpone making the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority initiated the investigation if, among other reasons, the petitioner makes a timely request for an extension pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act. In the instant investigation, the petitioner, Whirlpool Corporation, made a timely request on May 9, 2011, requesting a postponement of the preliminary countervailing duty determination to 130 days from the initiation date. See 19 CFR 351.205(e) and the petitioner’s May 9, 2011, letter requesting postponement of the preliminary determination, which is available in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 in the Department’s main building. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Department finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we are extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated, i.e., to August 27, 2011. However, August 27, 2011 falls on a Saturday. It is the Department’s long-standing practice to make a determination on the next business day when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any other day when the Department is closed. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the Department will make its preliminary determination on August 29, 2011, the first business day after August 27, 2011. This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(l). Dated: May 26, 2011. Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new information collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) plans to conduct a 
survey to collect data for conducting economic analyses of marine sport 
fishing in Alaska. This survey is necessary to understand the factors 
that affect the economic value of marine recreational fishing trips and 
improve estimates of fishing trip value.
    The Federal Government is responsible for the management of the 
Pacific halibut sport fishery off Alaska, while the State of Alaska 
manages the salmon sport fisheries (chinook, coho, sockeye, chum and 
pink), as well as several other saltwater sport fisheries. The survey's 
scope covers marine sport fishing for Pacific halibut, salmon, and 
other popular marine sport species in Alaska (e.g., lingcod and 
rockfish). The data collected from the survey will be used to estimate 
the demand for and value of marine fishing to anglers and to analyze 
how the type of fish caught, fishery regulations, and other factors 
affect fishing values and anglers' decisions to participate in Alaska 
marine fishing activities. The economic information provided from the 
survey will update and augment information collected in an earlier 
survey conducted in 2007 and is necessary to help inform fishery 
managers about the economic values of Alaska marine sport fisheries and 
the changes to participation in these fisheries with proposed 
regulations.

II. Method of Collection

    The survey will be administered as a mixed-mode survey employing 
both mail and telephone methods. A prepaid return envelope will be 
provided to respondents receiving the survey by mail.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
