SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On May 31, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated an
antidumping duty investigation on high
pressure steel cylinders from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1
On December 15, 2011, the Department
published its preliminary determination
of sales at less than fair value.2 The final
determination of this antidumping duty
investigation is currently due 75 days
after the date of the Preliminary
Determination.3
351.210(e)(2) requires that requests by
respondents for postponement of a final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to
not more than six months.
On December 12, 2011, Beijing
Tianhai Industry Co., Ltd., the entity
comprising the sole mandatory
respondent in this investigation,
requested a postponement of the final
determination and an extension of the
provisional measures pursuant to
section 735(a)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(e)(2). In accordance with
section 735(a)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b), because (1) Our preliminary
determination is affirmative, (2) the
requesting exporter accounts for a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise,4 and (3) no
compelling reasons for denial exist, we
are granting the request and are
postponing the final determination until
no later than 135 days after the
publication of the preliminary
determination notice in the Federal
Register, or April 28, 2012.5 Suspension
of liquidation will be extended
accordingly.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to sections 777(i) and 735(a)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
Dated: December 30, 2011.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides
that the Department may postpone a
final determination until no later than
135 days after the date of the
publication of the preliminary
determination if, in the event of an
affirmative determination, a request for
such postponement is made by
exporters who account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise, or in the event of a
negative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by petitioner. In addition, 19 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new
information collection.
The Sensor Science Division (SSD) of
the Physical Measurement Laboratory of
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) is responsible for
providing standards for the
characterization of the optical properties
of materials for the United States. This
serves the needs of a wide range of
industries as well as government and
academic laboratories. An increasingly
important part of the optical spectrum is
the infrared spectral range from 1 mm to
20 mm. Over the past two decades, the
SSD has been working to establish
physical standards, measurement
methods and measurement services in
the infrared. As part of this ongoing
effort, and in response to many inquiries
and requests in recent years, NIST plans
to survey members of the infrared
optical properties measurement
community. The purpose of the survey
is to assess their needs for standard
reference materials, calibration services,
workshops, courses, and other means
for improvement of the quality of their
measurement data and traceability to
national standards.
II. Method of Collection
The survey will be will be sent as an
email attachment to the participants;
and the completed survey will be
returned to NIST via email.

OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Section 315 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1445a)
allows the Secretary of Commerce to
establish one or more advisory councils
to provide advice to the Secretary
regarding the designation and
management of national marine
sanctuaries. Advisory councils are
individually chartered for each
sanctuary to meet the needs of that
sanctuary. Once an advisory council has
been chartered, the sanctuary
superintendent starts a process to
recruit members for that council by
providing notice to the public and
requesting interested parties to apply for
the available seat(s) (e.g., Research,
Education) and position(s) (i.e., council
member or alternate). The information
obtained through this application
process will be used to determine the
qualifications of the applicant for
membership on the sanctuary advisory
council.
Two application forms are currently
associated with this information
collection: (a) National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council
Application form; and (b) National
Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council
Youth Seat Application form. These
application forms are currently being
revised to ensure consistency between
the forms, as well as clarify the
information and supplemental materials
to be submitted by applicants.
Application form instructions will
specify requirements imposed upon the
agency when reviewing applicants as
potential council members or alternates,
including the need to assess potential
conflicts of interest (or other issues) and
the applicant’s status as a federallyregistered lobbyist. Specific questions
posed to applicants will be reordered,
reworded and, at times, condensed to
improve the organization of applicant
responses and, thereby, simplify the
applicant review process.
II. Method of Collection
Complete applications may be
submitted electronically via email (with
