SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject amendment to Permit No. 775– 

1875 is requested under the authority of 

the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 

1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.), and the regulations governing the 

taking and importing of marine 

mammals (50 CFR part 216). 

Permit No. 775–1875, issued on 

January 16, 2008 (73 FR 4846), 

authorizes the permit holder to conduct 

research related to stock assessments on 

seven species of baleen whales, twentyfive species or stocks of odontocetes, 

and four species of pinnipeds. Permitted 

research on pinnipeds includes aerial 

and vessel surveys, capture for 

collection of biological samples, and 

harassment incidental to research and 

collection of scat. The permit holder is 

requesting the permit be amended to 

include authorization for harassment of 

additional harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) 

and gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) 

incidental to scat collection, and 

collection of additional harbor seal pup 

carcasses found on rookeries and 

haulouts. The increases are necessary 

due to the rapidly increasing seal 

populations at all major haulouts, which 

has resulted in researchers encountering 

more seals than anticipated when the 

original permit was requested in 2006. 

The amendment does not represent a 

change in the manner in which the 

research is conducted, including 

location, frequency or duration of 

research activities. The amendment 

would be valid for the duration of the 

permit, which expires on January 15, 

2013. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental 

assessment (EA) was prepared to 

examine whether significant 

environmental impacts could result 

from issuance of Permit No. 775–1875. 

Based on the analyses in the EA, NMFS 

determined that issuance of the permit 

amendment would not significantly 

impact the quality of the human 

environment and that preparation of an 

environmental impact statement is not 

required. The EA is available upon 

request. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 30, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on dynamic 

random access memory semiconductors 

from the Republic of Korea, covering the 

period January 1, 2007 through 

December 31, 2007. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 56795 

(September 30, 2008). On February 17, 

2009, the petitioner, Micron 

Technology, Inc., alleged that the 

respondent, Hynix Semiconductor, Inc., 

received new subsidies. 

Statutory Time Limits 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue 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 and the 

final results of review within 120 days 

after the date on which the preliminary 

results are published. 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 these deadlines to 

a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, 

respectively. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

This administrative review is 

extraordinarily complicated due to the 

complexity of the countervailable 

subsidy practices found in the 

investigation and the new subsidy 

allegations. Because the Department 

requires additional time to review, 

analyze, and possibly verify the 

information, and to issue additional 

supplemental questionnaires, if 

necessary, it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the original 

time limit (i.e., by May 3, 2009). 

Therefore, the Department is extending 

the time limit for completion of the 

preliminary results by 90 days to not 

later than August 1, 2009, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

August 1, 2009, however, falls on a 

Saturday. The Department’s long– 

standing practice is to issue a 

determination on the next business day 

when the statutory deadline falls on a 

weekend, federal holiday, or any other 

day when the Department is closed. See 

Notice of Clarification: Application of 

‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for 

Administrative Determination Deadlines 

Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As 

Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 

Accordingly, the deadline for 

completion of the preliminary results is 

now no later than Monday, August 3, 

2009. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with section 

751(a)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: April 8, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
