SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 27, 2010, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published a 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain orange juice from Brazil. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 75 FR 22107 (Apr. 27, 2010). The 

period of review is March 1, 2009, 

through February 28, 2010, and the 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than December 1, 2010. The review 

covers four producers/exporters of the 

subject merchandise to the United 

States. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

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

the Department shall make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping order within 245 days after 

the last day of the anniversary month of 

the date of publication of the order. 

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

provides, however, that the Department 

may extend the 245-day period up to 

365 days if it determines it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the foregoing time period. We 

determine that it is not practicable to 

complete this administrative review 

within the time limits mandated by 

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

we require more time to issue 

supplemental questionnaires to certain 

of the respondents and analyze their 

responses. Therefore, we have fully 

extended the deadline for completing 

the preliminary results until March 31, 

2011. The deadline for the final results 

of the review continues to be 120 days 

after the publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This extension notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: November 9, 2010.

Request for Applications 

The NOAA Office of Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Research (OAR) and the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) invites applications for two 

cooperative institutes: (1) CI to improve 

mesoscale and stormscale high impact 

weather forecasts, watches, and 

warnings through the use of, and 

enhancement of, weather radar and 

(2) a CI to support NOAA research 

facilities in the northwest U.S. in the 

area of marine resources. 

Generally, a CI is a NOAA-supported, 

non-Federal organization that has 

established an outstanding research 

program in one or more areas that are 

relevant to the NOAA mission ‘‘to 

understand and predict changes in the 

Earth’s environment and conserve and 

manage coastal and marine resources to 

meet our Nation’s economic, social, and 

environmental needs.’’ CIs are 

established at research institutions with 

outstanding graduate degree programs 

in NOAA-related sciences. CIs provide 

significant coordination of resources 

among all non-government partners and 

promote the involvement of students 

and post-doctoral scientists in NOAAfunded research. 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

69918 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 16, 2010 / Notices 

NOAA establishes a new CI 

competitively when it identifies a need 

to sponsor a long-term (5–10 years) 

collaborative partnership with one or 

more outstanding non-Federal, nonprofit research institutions. For NOAA, 

the purpose of this long-term 

collaborative partnership is to promote 

research, education, training, and 

outreach aligned with NOAA’s mission; 

to obtain research capabilities that do 

not exist internally; and/or to expand 

research capacity in NOAA-related 

sciences to: 

• Conduct collaborative, long-term 

research that involves NOAA scientists 

and those at the research institution(s) 

from one or more scientific disciplines 

of interest to NOAA; 

• Utilize the scientific, education, 

and outreach expertise at the research 

institution(s) that, depending on 

NOAA’s research needs, may or may not 

be located near a NOAA facility; 

• Support student participation in 

NOAA-related research studies; and 

• Strengthen or expand NOAArelated research capabilities and 

capacity at the research institution(s) 

that complements and contributes to 

NOAA’s ability to reach its mission 

goals. 

A CI may also partner with one or 

more research institutions that 

demonstrate outstanding performance 

within one or more established research 

programs in NOAA-related sciences, 

including Minority Serving Institutions 

that can contribute to the proposed 

activities of the CI. CIs conduct research 

under approved scientific research 

themes and Tasks (additional tasks can 

be proposed by the CI): 

• Task I activities are related to the 

management of the CI, as well as general 

education and outreach activities. This 

task also includes support of 

postdoctoral and visiting scientists 

conducting activities within the 

research themes of the CI that are 

approved by the CI Director, in 

consultation with NOAA, and are 

relevant to NOAA and the CI’s mission 

goals; 

• Task II activities usually involve 

on-going direct collaboration with 

NOAA scientists. This collaboration 

typically is fostered by the collocation 

of Federal and CI employees; and 

• Task III activities require minimal 

collaboration with NOAA scientists. 

Generally, applications must include 

all relevant Federal Standard Forms, a 

project description that includes 

sufficient information to address all the 

evaluation criteria identified in the FFO 

announcement, a budget, and a budget 

justification. The project description 

must include a thorough explanation of 

all themes and Tasks. The application 

should also identify the capability and 

the capacity of the CI to conduct 

research in the themes described in the 

FFO announcement, as well as a 

summary of clearly stated goals to be 

achieved, reflecting NOAA’s strategic 

goals and vision. Additional elements 

may also be requested. Applicants are 

directed to the FFO for all application 

information and requirements. 

A Cooperative Institute To Improve 

Mesoscale and Stormscale High Impact 

Weather Forecasts, Watches, and 

Warnings Through the use of, and 

Enhancement of, Weather Radar 

The CI will focus on the themes of: 

(1) Weather radar research and 

development, (2) stormscale and 

mesoscale modeling research and 

development, (3) forecast improvements 

research and development, (4) impacts 

of climate change related to extreme 

weather events, and (5) social and 

socioeconomic impacts of high impact 

weather systems. The CI will be 

established at a research institution not 

only having outstanding graduate degree 

programs in NOAA-related sciences, but 

also located within a commuting 

distance to NOAA’s facilities in 

Norman, Oklahoma that provides for 

direct interactions on a regular basis. 

The CI will provide significant 

coordination of resources among all 

non-governmental partners and will 

promote the involvement of students 

and post-doctoral scientists in NOAAfunded research. If the CI is comprised 

of multiple member institutions, only 

the lead institution applying for the 

award and where the CI will be 

established must satisfy the commuting 

distance requirement. 

Funding Availibility: All funding is 

contingent upon the availability of 

appropriations. NOAA anticipates that 

up to approximately $15M will be 

available annually for this CI. Of that 

amount, approximately $300,000– 

$400,000 will be available per year for 

Task I. The final amount of funding 

available for Task I will be determined 

during the negotiation phase of the 

award based on availability of funding. 

The actual amount of annual funding 

that the CI receives may be more or less 

than the anticipated amount and will 

depend on the actual projects that are 

approved by NOAA, the availability of 

funding, the quality of the research, the 

satisfactory progress in achieving the 

stated goals described in project 

proposals, and continued relevance to 

program objectives. 

A Cooperative Institute To Support 

NOAA Northwest Research Facilities in 

the Area of Marine Resources 

The CI to support NOAA research 

facilities in the northwest U.S. in the 

area of marine resources will focus on 

the themes of: (1) Seafloor processes, (2) 

marine mammal acoustics, (3) marine 

ecosystems, and (4) protection and 

restoration of marine resources. The CI 

will be established at a research 

institution not only having outstanding 

graduate degree programs in NOAArelated sciences, but also located within 

a commuting distance that allows direct 

interactions with CI and NOAA 

scientists at NOAA’s Pacific Marine 

Environmental Laboratory, Northwest 

Fisheries Science Center, and Alaska 

Fisheries Science Center offices in 

Newport, Oregon, on a regular basis. 

The CI will provide significant 

coordination of resources among all 

non-governmental partners and will 

promote the involvement of students 

and post-doctoral scientists in NOAAfunded research. If the CI is comprised 

of multiple member institutions, only 

the lead institution applying for the 

award and where the CI will be 

established must satisfy the commuting 

distance requirement. This 

announcement provides requirements 

for the proposed CI and includes details 

for the technical program, evaluation 

criteria, and competitive selection 

procedures. 

Funding Availibility: All funding is 

contingent upon the availability of 

appropriations. NOAA anticipates that 

up to approximately $7M will be 

available annually for this CI. Of that 

amount, approximately $100,000 will be 

available per year for Task I. The final 

amount of funding available for Task I 

will be determined during the 

negotiation phase of the award and will 

be based on availability of funding. The 

actual annual funding that the CI 

receives may be less than the 

anticipated amount and will depend on 

the actual projects that are approved by 

NOAA, the availability of funding, the 

quality of the research, the satisfactory 

progress in achieving the stated goals 

described in project proposals, and 

continued relevance to program 

objectives.
