SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information 

On April 26, 2006, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated 

a new shipper review relating to the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

welded carbon steel standard pipe from 

Turkey, for the period January 1, 2005, 

through December 31, 2005.1 On May 2, 

2006, the Department published the 

notice of initiation in the Federal 

Register. See Certain Welded Carbon 

Steel Standard Pipe from Turkey: Notice 

Initiation of Countervailing Duty New 

Shipper Review, 71 FR 25814 (May 2, 

2006). The respondents in this review 

are Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi 

A.S. and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. The 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than October 23, 2006. 

Statutory Time Limits 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 180 

days after the date on which the new 

shipper review was initiated. However, 

when the Department determines a case 

is extraordinarily complicated such that 

it cannot complete the review within 

this time period, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) 

allow the Department to extend the time 

limit for the preliminary determination 

from 180 days to 300 days. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

We determine that this case is 

extraordinarily complicated given the 

number of programs to be analyzed. 

Specifically, in this review, we are 

examining 13 different programs for the 

two respondents. Also, it is the 

Department’s practice to normally 

conduct verifications for new shipper 

reviews. Therefore, in accordance with 

the statutory and regulatory authority 

cited above, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of this new shipper review to 

300 days. As the new deadline falls on 

February 19, 2007, a federal holiday, the 

Department will issue the preliminary 

results on the next business day, 

February 20, 2007. The final results of 

this review continue to be due within 90 

days after the date the preliminary 

results are issued. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214. 

Dated: September 14, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

authority of the Endangered Species Act

1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and

species (50 CFR 222–226). 

The Riverbanks Zoo and Garden 

proposes to obtain and maintain a total 

of eight captive-bred, non-releaseable 

adult shortnose sturgeon from the South 

Carolina Department of Natural 

Resources. This sturgeon display would 

be used to increase public awareness of 

the shortnose sturgeon and its status. 

The proposed project would educate the 

public on shortnose sturgeon life history 

and the reasons for the species decline. 

The proposed project to display 

endangered cultured shortnose sturgeon 

responds directly to a recommendation 

from the NMFS recovery plan outline 

for this species. The permit is requested 

for a duration of 5 years. 

Dated: September 14, 2006.
