1The Department normally will issue its 

preliminary results in a full sunset review not later 

than 110 days after the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the notice of initiation. 

However, if the Secretary determines that a full 

sunset review is extraordinarily complicated under 

section 751(c)(5)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the 

Act’’), as amended, the Secretary may extend the 

period for issuing final results by not more than 90 

days. See section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

from Italy.1 The Department intends to 

issue preliminary results of this sunset 

review on or about October 20, 2004. In 

addition, the Department intends to 

issue its final results of this review on 

or about February 22, 2005 (120 days 

after the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the preliminary

Extension of Preliminary and Final 

Determinations 

In accordance with section 

751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act, the 

Department may treat sunset reviews as 

extraordinarily complicated if the issues 

are complex in order to extend the 

period of time under section 

751(c)(5)(B) of the Act for making a 

sunset determination. As discussed 

below, the Department has determined 

that these reviews are extraordinarily 

complicated. On June 1, 2004, the 

Department initiated a sunset review of 

the countervailing duty order on SSSS 

from Italy. See Initiation of Five-Year 

(Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 30874 (June 1, 

2004). The Department, in this 

proceeding, determined that it would 

conduct a full (240-day) sunset review 

of this order based on responses from 

the domestic and respondent interested 

parties to the notice of initiation. The 

Department’s preliminary results of this 

review were scheduled for September 

20, 2004. However, several complicated 

issues have arisen regarding issues 

raised by the parties and the effect of the 

recent section 129 implementation of 

the order with respect to ThyssenKrupp 

Acciai Speciali Terni, S.p.A. on this 

sunset review. See Notice of 

Implementation Under Section 129 of 

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act: 

Countervailing Measures Concerning 

Certain Steel Products From the 

European Communities, 68 FR 64858 

(November 17, 2003). 

Because of the numerous, complex 

issues in this proceeding, the 

Department will extend the deadlines. 

Thus, the Department intends to issue 

the preliminary results on or about 

October 20, 2004, and the final results 

not later than February 22, 2005, in 

accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) 

and (C)(ii) of the Act.

[Docket No. 030602141–4268–10] 

Call for Proposals for FY 2005 Coastal 

Services Center Integrated Ocean 

Observing Systems—Amendment

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

National Ocean Service (NOS).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The National Ocean Service 

(NOS) publishes this notice to amend a 

notice entitled Availability of Grants 

Funds for Fiscal Year 2005 to make a 

revision to the NOS FY 2005 Coastal 

Services Center Integrated Ocean 

Observing System. NOS amends the 

notice to broaden an existing funding 

priority, to extend the due date for all 

applications to December 1, 2004, and 

to inform applicants that the maximum 

total available funding under this 

announcement is expected to be 

$5,000,000.

DATES: All applications for projects 

must be received by the NOAA Coastal 

Services Center by COB on December 1, 

2004.

ADDRESSES: All submissions should be 

directed to: NOAA Coastal Services 

Center, Attn: Paul Scholz, 2234 South 

Hobson Ave., Charleston, SC 29405–

2413.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Scholz, (843) 740–1208, 

Paul.Scholz@noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Ocean Service published a 

notice of availability of financial 

assistance in the Federal Register of 

June 30, 2004 (69 FR 125), entitled 

‘‘Availability of Grant Funds for Fiscal 

Year 2005’’. The NOS Coastal Services 

Center had a Call for Proposals for the 

Director’s office titled, ‘‘FY 2005 Coastal 

Services Center Integrated Ocean 

Observing System.’’

The program amends the June 30, 

2004 notice by expanding one of the 

existing program funding areas. NOS 

solicits projects that facilitate building 

partnerships and regional organizational 

structures for regional observing 

systems. Because, of agency-wide 

discussions the Coastal Services Center 

will consider proposals from seven 

additional geographical areas. The new 

geographic areas are: The southeastern 

U.S., the mid-Atlantic region, the Great 

Lakes region, the Pacific northwest 

region, the Alaskan region, the central 

California region, and the southern 

California region. In addition, the 

following represents an increase in the 

scope of the original announcement—all 

proposed projects should focus on core 

coordination activities primarily and 

build upon core coordination activities 

for any proposed development of data 

management, outreach, and other 

coordination or user needs activities. 

NOS also increases the total 

maximum available funding that is 

expected under this announcement from 

$1,000,000 to $5,000,000 dollars 

depending on congressional 

appropriation. The Center expects to 

award eight to eleven grants of $100,000 

to $400,000. 

To accommodate the added 

geographical areas and the increased 

scope of the original geographies, the 

due date for proposals for all 

geographical areas is December 1, 2004. 

The application date for funding for the 

Pacific Islands, the Northeastern U.S., 

the northern Gulf of Mexico, and the 

Caribbean Islands will also be December 

1, 2004, since the scope of the projects 

and proposals has now been broadened. 

If an applicant has already submitted an 

application, NOS will accept revisions. 

All program requirements published 

in the June 30, 2004 notice apply to this 

notice. Full program information and 

requirements are found in the Federal 

Funding Opportunity (FFO) which can 

be found on www.Grants.gov Web site or 

on the Coastal Services Center Web site 

http://www.csc.noaa.gov/funding.
