Permit 14457 - 2M 

The Columbia River Estuary Study 

Taskforce (CREST) is seeking to modify 

its current research permit to add some 

collection locations and increase the 

numbers of listed fish that may be taken. 

Under the modified permit, they would 

annually capture, handle, and release 

juvenile fish from all the species 

covered by this notice. They would also 

capture, mark, tag, and release adult 

LCR coho, Chinook, and steelhead and 

CR chum. The purpose of the research 

is to evaluate estuarine habitat 

restoration efforts. Specific objectives 

are to (1) determine species 

composition, relative abundance, and 

residence time of various listed fish by 

using pre-restored and restoration 

project habitats and adjacent references 

sites; (2) determine prey use by juvenile 

salmon; and (3) determine prey 

availability. The research would benefit 

listed salmonids by determining how 

effectively currently altered habitats 

support salmonids and using that 

information to guide future habitat 

modifications. 

The CREST would capture the fish 

using fyke nets, trap nets, and beach 

seines. Salmonids would be 

anesthetized, identified, counted, 

measured, weighed, checked for tags 

and hatchery marks, and released. Some 

of the fish may be tagged with passive 

integrated transponders, or injected 

with dye or visible implant elastomers. 

Fin or scale samples for genetic or age 

analysis would be taken from a portion 

of the captured juvenile Chinook 

salmon. Some of the captured juvenile 

salmonid would be sampled for stomach 

contents. The CREST does not propose 

to kill any of the fish being captured, 

but a small number may die as an 

unintended result of the activities. 

Permit 15207 

The Oregon State University (OSU) is 

seeking a permit to annually take all the 

listed fish covered by this notice while 

conducting research designed to help 

managers assess the condition of rivers 

and streams in the 12 conterminous 

western states and evaluate and develop 

scientifically and statistically rigorous 

field protocols for assessing large rivers 

and their tributaries. The study was 

previously conducted under Permit 

1559 - 4A and will benefit listed species 

by providing baseline information about 

water quality in the study areas and 

helping managers enforce the Clean 

Water Act in those river systems where 

listed fish are present. The OSU 

researchers would capture fish (using 

raft-mounted electrofishing equipment), 

sample them for biological information, 

and release them. The researchers will 

try to avoid adult salmonids, but some 

may be handled. The researchers do not 

intend to kill any fish being captured 

but some may die as an unintentional 

result of the research activities. 

Permit 15162 

The University of Idaho (UI) is 

seeking a three-year permit to take listed 

salmonids (UCR Chinook and steelhead, 

SR spr/sum and fall Chinook, SR 

steelhead, SR sockeye, and MCR 

steelhead) while conducting research on 

pacific lamprey passage at McNary And 

John Day Dams on the Columbia River. 

The UI researchers would capture 

pacific lamprey at temporary traps 

installed near the bottoms of the 

fishways at the dams. They would also 

look for lamprey in the fishways and 

use dipnets to capture them. If listed 

fish are captured during the dipnetting, 

they would be released immediately. If 

they are caught in the lamprey traps, 

they may be held for up to 11 hours 

(from 8:00 p.m. when the traps are 

lowered into place, to 7:00 a.m. when 

they are pulled and checked), but any 

captured fish will be released at the 

moment the trap is checked. The 

researchers do not expect to kill any 

listed fish but a small number may die 

as an unintended result of the research 

activities. 

Permit 15461 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS) is seeking a five-year permit to 

annually take juvenile threatened SR 

steelhead during the course of research 

on Pacific lamprey in the Snake River 

basin. The research is designed to assess 

lamprey numbers and habitat in the 

basin and gauge the effectiveness of a 

lamprey translocation program. The 

research will benefit steelhead by 

generating information that will be used 

when conducting habitat restoration 

activities in the basin. The listed fish 

would be affected by the use of a lowpower electrofishing unit designed to 

bring lamprey young up out of a 

stream’s substrate. Any affected 

steelhead would simply be allowed to 

escape; they would not be collected or 

sampled in any manner. The FWS does 

not expect to kill any listed fish, but a 

small number may die as an unintended 

result of the activities. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the applications, associated 

documents, and comments submitted to 

determine whether the applications 

meet the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the ESA and Federal regulations. The 

final permit decisions will not be made 

until after the end of the 30–day 

comment period. NMFS will publish 

notice of its final action in the Federal 

Register.

Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value: 

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From Thailand, 69 

FR 34122, 34123 (June 18, 2004). 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 

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

Department extended the due date for 

issuing the preliminary results by 92 

days, from the original date of January 

31, 2010, to May 3, 2010. 

As explained in the February 12, 

2010, memorandum from the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, the Department has 

exercised its discretion to toll Import 

Administration 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 preliminary 

results of this review is currently May 

10, 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. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested and a final determination 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary determination is 

published in the Federal Register. If it 

is not practicable to complete the review 

within these time periods, section 

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

Department to extend the time limit for 

the preliminary determination to a 

maximum of 365 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of 

this review by the current deadline of 

May 10, 2010, because before issuing 

the preliminary results of review we 

intend to verify the sales of a 

respondent to this review. Also, we 

have granted several extensions 

requested by the respondent to respond 

to our requests for information in this 

administrative review and, as a result, 

need additional time to analyze the 

respondent’s submissions. Therefore, in 

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

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), we 

are extending the time period for issuing 

the preliminary results of this review by 

28 days from May 10, 2010, to June 7, 

2010. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 9, 2004, the Department of 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register the antidumping duty order on 

polyethylene retail carrier bags from 

Thailand. See Antidumping Duty Order: 

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From 

Thailand, 69 FR 48204 (August 9, 2004). 

On September 22, 2009, we published a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of six companies. See Initiation 

of Antidumping and Countervailing

Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 

48224, 48226 (September 22, 2009).1

The period of review is August 1, 2008 

through July 31, 2009. 

As explained in the February 12, 

2010, memorandum from the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, the Department has 

exercised its discretion to toll Import 

Administration deadlines for the 

duration of the closure of the Federal 

Government from February 5 through 

February 12, 2010. Thus, the deadline in 

this segment of the proceeding has been 

extended by seven days. This revised 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this administrative review is now May 

10, 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. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to make a preliminary 

determination within 245 days after the 

last day of the anniversary month of an

and a final determination within 120 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary determination is published 

in the Federal Register. If it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within these time periods, section 

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

Department to extend the time limit for 

the preliminary determination to a 

maximum of 365 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of
