41054 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 128 / Monday, July 3, 2000 / Notices

1A number of parties commented that these

interim-final regulations provided insufficient time

for rebuttals to substantive responses to a notice of

initiation (Sunset Regulations, 19 CFR

351.218(d)(4)). As provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b)

(2000), the Department will consider individual

requests for extension of that five-day deadline

based upon a showing of good cause.

Statute and Regulations

Pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of

the Act, an antidumping (‘‘AD’’) or

countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) order will

be revoked, or the suspended

investigation will be terminated, unless

revocation or termination would be

likely to lead to continuation or

recurrence of (1) Dumping or a

countervailable subsidy, and (2)

material injury to the domestic industry.

The reviews will be conducted

pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of

the Act. The Department’s procedures

for the conduct of sunset reviews are set

forth in Procedures for Conducting Fiveyear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Orders, 63 FR 13516 (March 20, 1998)

(‘‘Sunset Regulations’’) and in 19 CFR

Part 351 (1999) in general. Guidance on

methodological or analytical issues

relevant to the Department’s conduct of

sunset reviews is set forth in the

Department’s Policy Bulletin 98:3—

Policies Regarding the Conduct of Fiveyear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Orders; Policy Bulletin, 63 FR 18871

(April 16, 1998) (‘‘Sunset Policy

Bulletin’’).

Filing Information

As a courtesy, we are making

information related to sunset

proceedings, including copies of the

Sunset Regulations and Sunset Policy

Bulletin, the Department’s schedule of

sunset reviews, case history information

(e.g., previous margins, duty absorption

determinations, scope language, import

volumes), and service lists, available to

the public on the Department’s sunset

internet website at the following

address: ‘‘http://www.ita.doc.gov/

import_admin/records/sunset/’’.

All submissions in the sunset reviews

must be filed in accordance with the

Department’s regulations regarding

format, translation, service, and

certification of documents. These rules

can be found at 19 CFR 351.303 (2000).

Also, we suggest that parties check the

Department’s sunset website for any

updates to the service list before filing

any submissions. We ask that parties

notify the Department in writing of any

additions or corrections to the list. We

also would appreciate written

notification if you no longer represent a

party on the service list.

Because deadlines in a sunset review

are, in many instances, very short, we

urge interested parties to apply for

access to proprietary information under

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)

immediately following publication in

the Federal Register of the notice of

initiation of the sunset review. The

Department’s regulations on submission

of proprietary information and

eligibility to receive access to business

proprietary information under APO can

be found at 19 CFR 351.304–306 (see

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Proceedings: Administrative Protective

Order Procedures; Procedures for

Imposing Sanctions for Violation of a

Protective Order, 63 FR 24391 (May 4,

1998)).

Information Required From Interested

Parties

Domestic interested parties (defined

in 19 CFR 351.102 (2000)) wishing to

participate in the sunset reviews must

respond not later than 15 days after the

date of publication in the Federal

Register of the notice of initiation by

filing a notice of intent to participate.

The required contents of the notice of

intent to participate are set forth in the

Sunset Regulations at 19 CFR

351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the

Sunset Regulations, if we do not receive

a notice of intent to participate from at

least one domestic interested party by

the 15-day deadline, the Department

will automatically revoke the orders

without further review.

If we receive a notice of intent to

participate from a domestic interested

party, the Sunset Regulations provide

that all parties wishing to participate in

the sunset review must file substantive

responses not later than 30 days after

the date of publication in the Federal

Register of the notice of initiation. The

required contents of a substantive

response are set forth in the Sunset

Regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3).

Note that certain information

requirements differ for foreign and

domestic parties. Also, note that the

Department’s information requirements

are distinct from the International Trade

Commission’s information

requirements. Please consult the Sunset

Regulations for information regarding

the Department’s conduct of sunset

reviews.1 Please consult the

Department’s regulations at 19 CFR Part

351 (2000) for definitions of terms and

for other general information concerning

antidumping duty order proceedings at

the Department.

This notice of initiation is being

published in accordance with section

751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).

Dated: June 16, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy

Fellowship, National Sea Grant College

Program

Purpose of the Fellowship Program

In 1979, the National Sea Grant Office

(NSGO), NOAA, in fulfilling its broad

educational responsibilities, initiated a

program to provide a unique

educational experience in the policies

and processes of the Legislative and

Executive Branches of the Federal

Government to graduate students who

have an interest in ocean, coastal and

Great Lakes resources and in the

national policy decisions affecting these

resources. The U.S. Congress recognized

the value of this program and in 1987,

Public Law 100–220 stipulated the Sea

Grant Federal Fellows Program was to

be a formal part of the National Sea

Grant College Program Act. The

recipients are designated Dean John A.

Knauss Marine Policy Fellows pursuant

to 33 U.S.C. 1127(b).

Announcement

Fellows program announcements are

sent annually to all participating Sea

Grant institutions and campuses by the

local sea Grant program upon receipt of

notice from the NSGO.

Eligibility

Any student who, on September 26,

2000, is in a graduate or professional

program in a marine or aquatic-related

field at a United States accredited

institution of higher education may

apply to the NSGO through their local

Sea Grant program. Applicants from

states not served by a Sea Grant program

should obtain further information by

contacting the Knauss Fellows Program

Manager at the NSGO. NOAA makes

financial assistance funds available to

the Sea Grant programs nationwide to

implement the fellowship program. The

National Sea Grant program is listed in

the Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance under number 11.417: Sea

Grant Support.

How To Apply

Interested students should discuss

this fellowship with their local Sea

Grant Program Director. Applications

must be submitted with signature to the

local Sea Grant program by the deadline

set in the announcement (usually early

to mid-September). Each Sea Grant

program may select and forward to the

NSGO no more than five (5) applicants

selected according to criteria used by

the NSGO in the national competition.

Selected applications are to be

received in the NSGO from the

sponsoring Sea Grant program, no later

than 5 p.m. EST on September 26, 2000.

The competitive selection process and

subsequent notification to the Sea Grant

programs will be completed by October

25, 2000.

Stipend and Expenses

The local Sea Grant program receives

and administers the overall award of

$38,000 per student on behalf of each

Fellow selected from their program. Of

this award, the local Sea Grant program

provides $32,000 to each Fellow for

stipend and living expenses (per diem).

The additional $6,000 will be used to

cover mandatory health insurance for

the Fellow and moving expenses. In

addition, any remaining funds shall be

used during the Fellowship year, first to

satisfy academic degree-related travel,

and second for Fellowship-related

travel. Indirect costs are not allowable

for either the Fellowships or for any

costs associated with the Fellowships

[15 CFR 917.11(e), Guidelines for Sea

Grant Fellowships]. During the

fellowship, the host may provide

supplemental funds for work-related

travel by the fellow.

criteria listed, the Knauss Program

Manager will group the top-ranked

applicants in each category, legislative

and executive, based upon the

applicant’s stated preference and/or

judgement of the panel based upon

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

Title III of the Defense Production Act

(DPA) of 1950 authorizes various forms

of Government assistance to encourage

expansion of production capacity and

supply of industrial resources essential

to national defense. The DPA

Amendments of 1992 provide for the

testing, qualification, and use of

industrial resources manufactured or

developed with assistance provided

under Title III of the DPA.

FAR 34.1 and 52.234–1 require

contractors, upon the direction of the

contracting officer, to test Title III

industrial resources for qualification,

and provide the test results to the

Defense Production Act Office. The FAR

coverage also expresses Government

policy to pay for such testing and

provides definitions, procedures, and a

contract clause to implement the policy.

This information is used by the Defense

Production Act Office, Title III Program,

to determine whether the Title III

industrial resource has been provided

an impartial opportunity to qualify.
