Statutory Time Limits 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department of Commerce 

(Department) to make a preliminary 

determination within 245 days after the 

last day of the anniversary month of an 

order/finding for which a review is 

requested and a final determination 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary determination is 

published. However, if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend these deadlines to 

a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, 

respectively. 

Background 

On March 26, 2004, the Department 

initiated administrative reviews of the 

countervailing duty orders on low 

enriched uranium from France, 

Germany, the Netherlands, and the 

United Kingdom, covering the period of 

review January 1, 2003 through 

December 31, 2003. See 69 FR 15788. 

The preliminary results are currently 

due no later than October 31, 2004. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results of Reviews 

We determine that these reviews are 

extraordinarily complicated because 

there are a large number of complex 

issues to be considered and analyzed by 

the Department, along with numerous 

programs and changes to certain 

programs previously found 

countervailable. In order to complete 

our analysis, we require additional and/

or clarifying information. As a result, it 

is not practicable to complete the 

preliminary results of these reviews 

within the original time limits. 

Therefore, the Department is extending 

the time limits for completion of the 

preliminary results until no later than 

February 28, 2005. This date constitutes 

a 120-day extension for the 

administrative reviews of low enriched 

uranium from France, Germany, the 

Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. 

This extension is in accordance with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Dated: October 14, 2004.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

National Medal of Technology 

Nomination Evaluation Committee; 

Notice of Determination for Closure of 

Meeting 

The National Medal of Technology 

Nomination Evaluation Committee has 

scheduled a meeting for November 30, 

2004. 

The Committee was established to 

assist the Department in executing its 

responsibilities under 15 U.S.C. 3711. 

Under this provision, the Secretary of 

Commerce is responsible for 

recommending to the President 

prospective recipients of the National 

Medal of Technology. The committee’s 

recommendations are made after 

reviewing all nominations received in 

response to a public solicitation. The 

Committee is chartered to have twelve 

members.

TIME AND PLACE: The meeting will begin 

at 10 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. on 

November 30, 2004. The meeting will be 

held in Room 4813 at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20230. For further information 

contact: Mildred S. Porter, Director 

National Medal of Technology, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Herbert C. 

Hoover Building, Room 4843, 

Washington, DC 20230, Phone: 202/

482–5572. 

If a member of the public would like 

to submit written comments concerning 

the committee’s affairs at any time 

before and after the meeting, written 

comments should be addressed to the 

Director of the National Medal of 

Technology as indicated above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

meeting will be closed to discuss the 

relative merits of persons and 

companies nominated for the Medal. 

Public disclosure of this information 

would be likely to significantly frustrate 

implementation of the National Medal 

of Technology program because 

premature publicity about candidates 

under consideration for the Medal, who 

may or may not ultimately receive the 

award, would be likely to discourage 

nominations for the Medal. 

Accordingly, I find and determine, 

pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 

2, as amended, that the November 30, 

2004, meeting may be closed to the 

public in accordance with section 552b 

(c) (9) (B) of title 5, United States Code 

because revealing information about 

Medal candidates would be likely to
