On January 19, 2012, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
antidumping duty investigations of
imports of large residential washers
from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and
Mexico. See Large Residential Washers
From the Republic of Korea and Mexico:
Initiation of Antidumping Duty
Investigations, 77 FR 4007 (January 26,
2012). The notice of initiation stated
that we would issue our preliminary
determinations no later than 140 days
after the date of initiation. Currently, the
preliminary determinations in these
investigations are due on June 7, 2012.
On May 10, 2012, Whirlpool
Corporation (hereafter, the petitioner)
made timely requests, pursuant to
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.205(e), for a 50-day postponement
of the preliminary determinations in the
investigations. The petitioner stated that
a postponement of these preliminary
determinations is necessary because of
the complexities of the investigations,
the novelty of the issues raised, and
because the Department is still involved
in gathering and analyzing data from the
respondents.
Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act,
if the petitioner makes a timely request
for an extension of the period within
which the preliminary determination
must be made under subsection (b)(1),
then the Department may postpone
making the preliminary determination
under subsection (b)(1) until not later
than the 190th day after the date on
which the administering authority
initiated the investigation. Therefore, for

requested permit has been issued under
the authority of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The Maine Department of Marine
Resources was issued a five-year permit
to determine movement, natal river
origin, and other vital population
parameters of shortnose sturgeon in
Maine waters. Researchers will capture
adult and juvenile shortnose sturgeon,
and lethally collect early life-stage
shortnose sturgeon. Individuals will be
measured, weighed, photographed, PIT
tagged, Floy/T-bar tagged, tissue
sampled, and boroscoped; subsets of
fish will be apical spine sampled,
anesthetized, lavaged, blood sampled,
fin ray sectioned, or implanted or fitted
with an internal or external telemetry
tag.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
