Currently, there are approximately 650 active electric borrowers and 500 RUS telecommunications borrowers. RUS does not own or operate rural electric facilities. Its function is to provide, through self-liquidating loans and technical assistance, adequate and dependable electric and telecommunications service to rural people under rates and conditions that permit productive use of these utility services. RUS borrowers, as all businesses, need accounting systems for VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:25 Dec 12, 2011 Jkt 226001 their own internal use as well as external use. Such records are maintained as part of normal business practices. Without systems, no records would exist, for example, or what they own or what they owe. Such records systems provide borrowers with information that is required by the manager and board of directors to operate on a daily basis, to complete their tax returns, and to support requests to state regulatory commissions for rate approvals. Need and Use of the Information: RUS collects information to evaluate a borrower’s financial performance, to determine whether current loans are at risk, and to determine the credit worthiness of future loans. If basic financial records were not maintained, the borrower, its investors, and RUS would be unable to evaluate a borrower’s financial performance.

The application was filed on December 6, 2011. The Baxter facilities (200 million unit capacity) are used for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and nutritional intravenous (I.V.) bags and related components. Under T/IM procedures, Baxter has requested authority to produce filled pharmaceutical and nutritional I.V. bags (HTSUS 3004.20, 3004.40, 3004.50, 3004.90—duty rate: free) and I.V. administration sets and their components (HTSUS 9018.90— duty rate: free). Foreign materials that would be used in production (representing 9% of the value of the finished product) include: Foil pouches (HTSUS 3923.29), ABS resin (HTSUS 3903.30), L-tryptophan (HTSUS 2933.99), glutamic acid (HTSUS 2922.42), N–Acetyl-L–Tyrosine (HTSUS 2924.29) and L–Lysine-Acetate (HTSUS 2922.41) (duty rates range: 3–6.5%). T/ VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:25 Dec 12, 2011 Jkt 226001 IM authority could be granted for a period of up to two years. FTZ procedures could exempt Baxter from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. The company anticipates that some 22 percent of the facilities’ shipments of I.V. administration sets and components will be exported. On its domestic sales, Baxter would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to filled I.V. products and administration sets (duty rate: free) for the foreign inputs noted above. Baxter could also be exempt from duty payments on foreign materials that become scrap or waste during the production process. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Diane Finver 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 pursuant to Board Orders 1347 and 1480. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the following address: Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 2111, 1401 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20230. The closing period for their receipt is January 12, 2012. Baxter has also submitted a request to the FTZ Board for FTZ manufacturing authority beyond a two-year period. It should be noted that the request for extended authority is being docketed separately and will be processed as a distinct proceeding. Any party wishing to submit comments for consideration regarding the request for extended authority would need to submit such comments pursuant to the separate notice that will be published for that request. A copy of the application will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board’s Executive Secretary at the address listed above, and in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site, which is accessible via https://www.trade.gov/ftz.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 27, 2011, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating service valves for Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang DunAn Hetian Metal Co., Ltd. for the period April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 30912 (May 27, 2011). The preliminary results of review are currently due no later than December 31, 2011. Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the Department requires additional time to analyze information pertaining to the respondents’ sales practices, factors of production, as well as issue and review responses to E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1
