students ages 12–17 an opportunity to 

learn about agriculture, the mission of 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) programs. The 

objective(s) of the Ag-Discovery Program 

is to: (1) Provide students an 

opportunity to live on a university 

campus while learning about APHIS 

programs; (2) identify and recruit 

students who are interested in 

agricultural science; (3) provide 

demonstrations in APHIS programs 

including veterinary medicine, animal 

science, plant pathology; and (4) 

increase awareness of career 

opportunities within APHIS. The 

Application and brochure is provided to 

the applicant via of the APHIS and 

University Web site. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information annually 

to be used to select the participants for 

the various Ag Discovery Programs. The 

application provides the information 

needed to assess the students true 

interest in agriculture; provide 

references from others who are familiar 

with the students interest and character; 

and provides verification of the students 

age and enrollment in school. The 

information collected from the 

applications will help APHIS to rate and 

rank the applicants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Negative Quality Control 

Review Schedule. 

OMB Number: 0584–0034. 

Form Number: FNS–245 and 248. 

Expiration Date: November 30, 2009. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collections. 

The FNS–245, Negative Case Action 

Review Schedule: 

Abstract: The FNS–245, Negative Case 

Action Review Schedule, is designed to 

collect quality control (QC) data and 

serve as the data entry form for negative 

case action QC reviews in the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP). State agencies 

complete the FNS–245 for each negative 

case in their QC sample. The reporting 

and recordkeeping burden associated 

with the completion of the FNS–245 has 

decreased from 123,374 hours to 

117,651 hours. The 5,723 hour decrease 

is a result of a reduction in the total case 

selection from 39,782 in FY 2004 to 

38,911 in FY2007. 

Affected Public: State or Local 

Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 53 

State Agencies. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 734.17 Records. 

Estimated Total Annual Response: 

38,911. 

Estimated Time per Report: 3.0236 

Hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Reporting 

Burden: 117,651 Hours. 

The FNS–248, Status of Sample 

Selection and Completion: 

Abstract: The FNS–248, Status of 

Sample Selection and Completion, 

tracks a State’s progress in sample 

selection and case completion on a 

monthly basis. A proposed rule entitled 

‘‘Food Stamp Program: Discretionary 

Quality Control Provisions of Title IV of 

Public Law 107–171’’, was published in 

the Federal Register on September 23, 

2005 (70 FR 55776). The rulemaking 

proposed to eliminate this form as a 

means of collecting this information and 

would allow State agencies to report in 

a manner as directed by the regional 

offices. FNS expects to publish a final 

rule on this subject in 2010. Until then, 

the use of FNS–248 will be 

discontinued because the data collected 

has decreased to only four elements: 

Active and Negative Sampling Intervals 

and Active and Negative Number of 

Sample Cases Selected. These elements 

must be reported monthly by the States, 

but may be sent through various 

mediums to their regional offices. The 

annual reporting and recordkeeping 

burden associated with this new way of 

collecting the four elements 

significantly decreases the burden from 

348 hours to approximately 64 hours. 

Affected Public: State or local 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

53.

Dynamic Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea: Preliminary Results of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

is conducting an administrative review 

of the countervailing duty order on 

dynamic random access memory 

semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea for the period January 1, 2007, 

through December 31, 2007. We 

preliminarily find that Hynix 

Semiconductor, Inc. received 

countervailable subsidies during the 

period of review, which result in a de 

minimis subsidy rate. If these 

preliminary results are adopted in our 

final results of this review, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection not to assess countervailing 

duties as detailed in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Results of Review’’ section of this 

notice. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

See the ‘‘Public Comment’’ section of 

this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 4, 2009.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 11, 2003, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a countervailing duty order 

on dynamic random access memory 

semiconductors (‘‘DRAMS’’) from the 

Republic of Korea (‘‘ROK’’). See Notice 

of Countervailing Duty Order: Dynamic 

Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea, 68 FR 47546 (August 11, 2003) 

(‘‘CVD Order’’). On August 1, 2008, the 

Department published a notice of 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ for this countervailing duty 

order. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 73 

FR 44966 (August 1, 2008). On August 

28, 2008, we received a request for 

review from Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. 

(‘‘Hynix’’). On September 2, 2008, we 

received a request for review of Hynix 

and its affiliates from the petitioner, 

Micron Technology, Inc. (‘‘Micron’’). In 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice 

of initiation of the review on September 

30, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 56795 (September 30, 2008). 

On December 12, 2008, we issued 

countervailing duty questionnaires to 

the Government of the Republic of 

Korea (‘‘GOK’’) and Hynix. We received 

responses to these questionnaires on 

January 29, 2009. On March 17, 2009, 

we issued supplemental questionnaires 

to the GOK and Hynix. We received 

timely responses to these supplemental 

questionnaires on April 14, 2009. We 

issued additional supplemental 

questionnaires to the GOK and Hynix on 

July 10, 2009 and received responses on 

July 23, 2009 and July 17, 2009, 

respectively. 

We received new subsidy allegations 

from Micron on February 17, 2009.1 On 

July 7, 2009, we decided not to initiate 

an investigation of any of the new 

subsidies that Micron alleged in this 

administrative review. In addition, we 

stated the timing of the benefit of a 

previously countervailed debt–to-equity 

swap (‘‘DES’’) is not a new subsidy, but 

rather a valuation issue, and we would 

not reexamine the issue absent new 

information that would cast substantial 

doubt on our finding. See Memorandum 

to Susan Kuhbach, Director, Office 1, 

entitled ‘‘Fifth Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review: Dynamic 

Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from Korea: New 

Subsidy Allegations Memorandum’’ 

(July 9, 2009) (‘‘NSA Memo’’), available 

in the Central Records Unit, Room 1117 

of the main Department building. 

On April 14, 2009, we published a 

postponement of the preliminary results 

in this review until August 3, 2009. See
