Commerce. All applicants will be 

evaluated on their ability to meet certain 

conditions and best satisfy the selection

of seven U.S. companies and maximum 

of 15 companies will be selected to 

participate in the mission from the 

applicant pool. U.S. companies already

Fees and Expenses: 

After a company has been selected to

the Department of Commerce in the 

form of a participation fee is required. 

The participation fee will be $4,440 for

medium-sized enterprise (SME).1 The 

fee for each additional firm 

representative (large firm or SME) is 

$450. Expenses for travel, lodging, most

responsibility of each mission 

participant. The same fee structure 

applies to representatives of U.S.-based 

firms stationed in Colombia, Panama, or 

neighboring countries. 

Conditions for Participation: 

• An applicant must submit a 

completed and signed mission 

application and supplemental 

application materials, including 

adequate information on the company’s 

products and/or services, primary 

market objectives, and goals for 

participation. If the Department of 

Commerce receives an incomplete 

application, the Department may reject 

the application, request additional 

information, or take the lack of 

information into account when 

evaluating the applications. 

• Each applicant must also certify 

that the products and services it seeks 

to export through the mission are either 

produced in the United States, or, if not, 

marketed under the name of a U.S. firm 

and have at least 51 percent U.S. 

content of the value of the finished 

product or service. 

Selection Criteria for Participation: 

Selection will be based on the 

following criteria, listed in decreasing 

order of importance: 

• Suitability of the company’s 

products or services for the Colombian 

and Panamanian markets 

• Applicant’s potential for business 

in Colombia and Panama, including 

likelihood of exports resulting from the 

mission 

• Consistency of the applicant’s goals 

and objectives with the stated scope of 

the trade mission 

Referrals from political organizations 

and any documents containing 

references to partisan political activities 

(including political contributions) will 

be removed from an applicant’s 

submission and not considered during 

the selection process. 

Timeframe for Recruitment and 

Applications 

Mission recruitment will be 

conducted in an open and public 

manner. Outreach will include

www.ita.doc.gov/doctm/tmcal.html) and 

other Internet Web sites, press releases 

to general and trade media, broadcast 

fax, notices by industry trade 

associations and other multiplier

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

At the request of interested parties, on 

July 29, 2009, the Department published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of this antidumping duty 

administrative review. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Deferral of 

Administrative Review, 74 FR 39690 

(July 29, 2009). The review covers the 

period June 1, 2008, through May 31, 

2009. The preliminary results for this 

administrative review is currently due 

no later than March 9, 2010. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

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

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to complete the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. In this 

case, we note the deadline for 

completion of this administrative 

review has been extended by an 

additional seven days because of 

hazardous weather. See February 12, 

2010 Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of 

Administrative Deadlines As a Result of 

the Government Closure During the 

Recent Snowstorm.’’ However, if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within this time period, section 

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

Department to extend the 245 day time 

period for the preliminary results up to 

365 days. 

The Department has determined it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the statutory time limit because 

we require additional time to gather and 

analyze information relating to Kolon’s 

cost of production, home market sales 

activities, and U.S. sales activities. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limits for completion 

of the preliminary results of this 

administrative review until no later than 

July 7, 2010, which is 365 days from the 

last day of the anniversary month of this 

order, plus the seven-day extension for 

hazardous weather. We intend to issue 

the final results in this review no later 

than 120 days after publication of the 

preliminary results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

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

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: February 24,2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR 222–

Tissue samples are collected for genetic 

and stable isotope analyses. A subset of 

Kemp’s ridleys are held for 24–48 hours

electronic transmitters to investigate 

their movements, home range, and 

habitat associations. The permit expires
