Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 

Preliminary Results of Administrative 

Review: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils 

from Belgium

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 28, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni 

Page or Thomas Gilgunn at (202) 482–

1398 and (202) 482–4236, respectively;

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

Background

On June 30, 2004, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel plate in coils from Belgium with 

respect to Ugine & ALZ, NV Belgium 

(U&A Belgium). See Notice of Initiation 

of Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Reviews and 

Requests for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 

39409 (June 30, 2004). The period of 

review (POR) is May 1, 2003, through 

April 30, 2004.

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

the Department shall issue preliminary 

results in an administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. The Act further provides, 

however, that the Department may 

extend that 245-day period to 365 days 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the foregoing time period. 

Due to the complexity of issues related 

to determining the appropriate quantity 

and value of sales to be reported by 

U&A Belgium, the Department finds that 

it is not practicable to complete this 

review by the current deadline of 

January 31, 2005. Consequently, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for the completion of the preliminary 

results by 120 days, from January 31, 

2005, until no later than May 31, 2005. 

The final results continue to be due 120 

days after publication of the preliminary 

results. This notice is published 

pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act.

Announcement of Public Meeting of 

the National Conference on Weights 

and Measures

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology.

ACTION: Announcement of public 

meeting of the National Conference on 

Weights and Measures. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Interim Meeting of the National 

Conference on Weights and Measures 

will be held January 23 through 26, 

2004, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, 

Santa Monica, CA. This meeting is open 

to the public. Meeting registration and 

hotel information can be found on the 

NCWM Web site (http://

www.ncwm.net). The National 

Conference on Weights and Measures is 

an organization of weights and measures 

enforcement officials of the States, 

counties, and cities of the United States, 

and private sector representatives. The 

interim meeting of the Conference 

brings together enforcement officials, 

other government officials, and 

representatives of business, industry, 

trade associations, and consumer 

organizations to discuss subjects related 

to the field of weights and measures 

technology and administration. 

Pursuant to (15 U.S.C. 272(b)(6)), the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology supports the National 

Conference on Weights and Measures in 

order to promote uniformity among the 

States in the complexity of laws, 

regulations, methods, and testing 

equipment that comprises regulatory 

control by the States of commercial 

weighing and measuring.

DATES: January 23–26, 2004.

ADDRESSES: The Fairmont Miramar 

Hotel, Santa Monica, CA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Conference on Weights and 

Measures (NCWM) has the following 

topics scheduled for discussion and 

development at the Interim Meeting in 

January. This is a work session of the 

NCWM Committees to finalize 

recommendations for items that are 

considered sufficiently developed for a 

vote in July 2005 or to modify or 

withdraw from committee agendas those 

items that need additional development 

or are not considered adequately 

developed for vote in July. The NCWM 

will have a special joint session of the 

Laws and Regulations Committee and 

the Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee to receive input on the 

temperature compensation of refined 

petroleum products. The temperature 

compensation issues have been on the 

agenda for several years, but there hasn’t 

been a clear majority position to resolve 

the specific items before the NCWM. 

Please see NCWM Publication 15, which 

is available on the NIST Web site

(http://www.nist.gov/owm) and the 

NCWM Web site (http://www.ncwm.net) 

for additional information. Written 

comments may be submitted to the 

Chief, NIST Weights and Measures 

Division, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2600, 

Gaithersburg, MD 20899–2600, or via email at owm@nist.gov. 

The following provides a brief 

description of the agenda items. At this 

stage, the items are proposals. The 

Committees will decide which items 

will move forward as recommendations 

for vote in July 2005, which ones will 

be withdrawn, and which ones will be 

information items for further 

development. The NCWM 

Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee addresses proposed changes 

or amendments to NIST Handbook 44, 

‘‘Specifications, Tolerances, and other 

Technical Requirements for Weighing 

and Measuring Devices.’’ The items 

address commercial weighing and 

measuring devices that may be used in 

commercial measurement applications, 

that is, devices that are normally used 

to buy from or sell to the general public 

or used for determining the quantity of 

product sold among businesses. Issues 

on the agenda of the NCWM Laws and 

Regulations Committee relate to NIST 

Handbook 130, ‘‘Uniform Laws and 

Regulations in the area of legal 

metrology and engine fuel quality,’’ and 

NIST Handbook 133, ‘‘Checking the Net 

Contents of Packaged Goods.’’

NCWM Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee 

General Code 

Item 310–1: The issue addresses an 

extensive series of marking 

requirements for commercial 

measurement systems. In particular, the 

topic examines which marking 

requirements should apply to electronic 

instruments that are not specifically 

designed for weighing or measuring 

systems, but which increasingly are 

being used in commercial weighing and 

measuring systems. 

Item 310–2: Clarify the tolerances to 

be applied during the type evaluation of 

weighing and measuring instruments, 

that is, whether or not special test 

tolerances should apply to instruments 

undergoing type evaluation.

Scales Code 

Item 320–1: Clarify the requirement’s 

original intent for marking zero 

indications on scales and point-of-sale 

systems, where a zero-balance condition 

is represented by other than a digital 

zero indication. 

Item 320–2: The proposal is to drop 

the ‘‘#’’ mark as a symbol for ‘‘pound’’

on a receipt printed by a point-of-sale 

system, i.e., a cash register interfaced 

with a scale. 

Item 320–3: Add new device-specific 

requirements to the Scales Code to 

address the proper interface of 

computing scales with electronic cash 

registers (ECR). 

Item 320–4: Change the zero-tracking 

requirement (the amount of weight that 

can automatically be rezeroed) for class 

III scales to be consistent with the 

international standard recommended by 

the International Organization of Legal 

Metrology (OIML). 

Item 320–5: Provide guidelines on the 

placement of the required nominal 

capacity and scale division information 

on scales. 

Item 320–6: Delete the definitions for 

bench and counter scales, because 

current scale designs no longer 

distinguish between these two types of 

scales. Additionally, the proposal is to 

change the test load and test positions 

for the shift test for scales, particularly 

for small capacity scales. 

Item 320–7: The proposal is to drop 

the fourth tolerance step for Class III 

and Class IIII scales to align the 

tolerances with the OIML standard. This 

is a significant issue because there are
