Department of Commerce June 7, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review of new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``OTR Tires'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). This review covers the period February 20, 2008, through August 31, 2009.

This proposed rule would reorganize and clarify existing standards and procedures by which the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) may require that certain contracts or orders that promote the national defense be given priority over other contracts or orders. This rule also sets new standards and procedures by which BIS may allocate materials, services and facilities to promote the national defense. BIS is publishing this rule to comply with a requirement of the Defense Production Act Reauthorization of 2009 to publish regulations providing standards and procedures for prioritization of contracts and orders and for allocation of materials, services and facilities to promote the national defense.
