SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Census Bureau plans to 

conduct a new survey to measure 

research and development supported 

and performed by State Governments in 

the United States. This survey will be a 

joint effort between the Census Bureau 

and the National Science Foundation 

(NSF). 

The NSF Act of 1950 includes a 

statutory charge to ‘‘provide a central 

clearinghouse for the collection, 

interpretation, and analysis of data on 

scientific and engineering resources and 

to provide a source of information for 

policy formulation by other agencies in 

the Federal Government.’’ Under the 

aegis of this legislative mandate, NSF 

and its predecessors have sponsored 

surveys of research and development 

since 1953, including the Survey of 

Industrial Research and Development. 

This new survey will expand the scope 

of research and development collections 

to include State governments, for which 

there are no established collection 

efforts. 

Items on the survey form will include 

sources of funding for research and 

development, recipients of funding (if 

external to the government agency), and 

type of research and development by 

character (i.e., basic, applied, or 

developmental). Final results produced 

by NSF will contain State and national 

estimates useful to a variety of data 

users interested in research and 

development performance including: 

the National Science Board; the Office 

of Management and Budget; the Office 

of Science and Technology Policy and 

other science policy makers; 

institutional researchers; and private 

organizations. 

II. Method of Collection 

The survey will be mailed to the 

universe of approximately 1000 noneducational State government agencies. 

All respondents will be sent a mailed 

questionnaire, but will have the option 

of choosing a preferred submission 

method. Respondents will have the 

option of submitting data by completing 

and returning the mailed questionnaire, 

or by completing a Web form over the 

Internet.

Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 

Final Results of Countervailing Duty

Softwood Lumber from Canada 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information 

On June 30, 2005, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of administrative review on 

the countervailing duty order of certain 

softwood lumber from Canada, covering 

the period April 1, 2003, through March 

31, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 69 FR 39409 (June 30, 2005). The 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review were published 

on June 7, 2005. See Notice of 

Preliminary Results of Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Review: Certain 

Softwood Lumber Products from 

Canada, 70 FR 33088 (June 7, 2005). On 

July 1, 2005, at the request of the 

parties, the time periods for filing case 

briefs and rebuttal briefs was extended 

to August 11, 2005, and August 18, 

2005, respectively. See memorandum 

from Eric B. Greynolds to file, dated July 

1, 2005, and titled ‘‘Briefing Schedule,’’

which is on file in the public file room 

in room B–099 of the main Commerce 

building. 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results of Review 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue final 

results in an administrative review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results were published. 

However, if it is not practicable to 

complete the final results of review 

within this time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the time limit for 

the final results to 180 days from the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

results. 

Due to the extension of time periods 

for filing case briefs and rebuttal briefs, 

the large volume of issues raised by 

parties in their briefs, and the 

complexity of these issues, we find that 

it is not practicable for the Department 

to complete the final results of the 

administrative review within the 120- 

day statutory time frame. Therefore, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for completion of the final results until 

December 4, 2005, which is 180 days 

from the date of publication of the 

preliminary results. However, December 

4 falls on Sunday, and it is the 

Department’s long–standing practice to 

issue a determination 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 final results is 

December 5, 2005. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act. 

Dated: August 25, 2005.
