Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 3, 2008 / Notices 51443 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(3), 

the Department may rescind an 

administrative review if it concludes 

that during the POR there were no 

entries, exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise. The Department’s 

practice, supported by substantial 

precedent, requires that there be entries 

during the POR upon which to assess 

antidumping duties. See, e.g., Stainless 

Steel Bar from Italy: Preliminary Results 

and Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review, 70 FR 17656 (April 7, 2005) 

affirmed in Stainless Steel Bar from 

Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Rescission 

of Review, 70 FR 46480 (August 10, 

2005). 

Both CSN and CST certified that they 

had no entries of subject merchandise 

during the 2007–2008 POR, which the 

Department confirmed on the basis of 

official data from CBP. Therefore, we 

have preliminarily determined to 

rescind the 2007–2008 administrative 

review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Technology Innovation Program 

(TIP) is a competitive cost sharing 

program designed to assist U.S. 

businesses and institutions of higher 

education or other organizations, such 

as national laboratories, governmental 

laboratories (not including NIST), and 

nonprofit research institutes, to support, 

promote, and accelerate innovation in 

the United States through high-risk, 

high-reward research in areas of critical 

national need sponsored by the 

Department of Commerce’s National 

Institute of Standards and Technology. 

High-risk, high-reward research is 

research that: 

a. Has the potential for yielding 

transformational results with far-ranging 

or wide-ranging implications; 

b. Addresses areas of critical national 

need that support, promote, and 

accelerate innovation in the United 

States and is within NIST’s areas of 

technical competence; and is too novel 

or spans too diverse a range of 

disciplines to fare well in the traditional 

peer-review process. 

This request is for the information 

collection requirements associated with 

submission of proposals for TIP 

funding. The intent of the collection is 

to meet statutory requirements for TIP, 

as well as compliance with 15 CFR part 

14. 

II. Method of Collection

www.grants.gov.
