study the scope and effectiveness of research, extension, and economics programs affecting the specialty crop industry. The congressional legislation defines ‘‘ specialty crops ’’ as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and nursery crops (including floriculture). In order to carry out its responsibilities effectively, the Committee is holding a stakeholder listening session. The listening session will elicit stakeholder input from industry and state representatives, researchers and educators, national organizations and institutions, local producers, and other groups about topics of relevance to research, extension or economics programs on which the Specialty Crop Committee is charged to report through the Board to the Secretary of Agriculture and Congress. The list of specific topics of interest is available on the Committee charge on the NAREEE Web site ( http://nareeeab.ree.usda.gov ). In addition, the Committee seeks input on the Specialty Crop Research Initiative priorities and program administration, as well as its interaction with any research undertaken by the state administered Specialty Crop Block Grant Program funded through the USDA. Several panel sessions will be organized to stimulate discussion, each relating to one or more specific issues delineated in the Committee’s charge. Each panel will be followed with questions by Committee members and opportunity for brief presentations and general discussion from the floor. An open session for further brief presentations will also be scheduled. Succinct written comments by attendees and other interested stakeholders will be welcomed as additional public input before and up to two weeks following the listening sessions. All statements will become part of the official public record of the Board’s Specialty Crop Committee.

In order to encourage input from a wide array of interested parties and stakeholders from diverse regions of the country, the Committee will host an additional listening session focused on the same topics. This session will be held in Sacramento, CA on June 10, 2010. Details regarding this meeting will be announced in the near future.

Done at Washington, DC, this 11th day of April 2010. Molly Jahn, Acting Under Secretary, Research, Education, and Economics.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On April 27, 2009, we published a notice initiating an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from Germany covering one respondent, Wieland– Werke A.G. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part , 74 FR 19042 (April 27, 2009). The preliminary results of this review covering the period March 1, 2008, through February 28, 2009, were published on April 13, 2010. See Brass Sheet and Strip From Germany: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review , 75 FR 18801 (April 13, 2010). The final results of this administrative review were originally due no later than August 4, 2010. As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, the Department has exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the Federal Government from February 5, through February 12, 2010. Thus, all deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended by seven days. The revised deadline for the final results of this review is currently August 11, 2010. See Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration, regarding

‘‘ Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm, ’’ dated February 12, 2010. On April 30, 2010, the Petitioners 1 requested that the deadline for the final results in this administrative review be extended by the full 60 days authorized. The Petitioners commented that sales and cost verification reports have not been issued, and that interested parties will need time to submit briefs. The Petitioners also commented that the Department will need time to hold a possible hearing.

Extension of the Time Limit for the Final Results

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires that the Department issue the final results of an administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within that time period, section
