the year, ask a series of questions that 

broadly address project progress and 

monitoring needs of program personnel 

by getting baseline (planned) and actual 

information on quarterly and 

cumulative project and milestone

needs of external audiences, such as 

OMB. This includes information on: 

• Broadband Infrastructure and CCI— 

Subscribers passed and served, 

improved vs. new access for subscribers, 

pricing plans and broadband speeds 

available to subscribers, and community 

anchor institutions served. 

• PCC—Hours of operation, speed of 

broadband service, average number of 

users per week, training provided, 

equipment deployed, workstations 

available. 

• SBA—Awareness campaigns, 

training provided, equipment deployed, 

broadband subscription rates.

Administration 

Establishment of the Federal 

Economic Statistics Advisory 

Committee and Intention To Recruit 

New Members 

AGENCY: Economics and Statistics 

Administration, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of the Establishment of 

the Federal Economic Statistics 

Advisory Committee and Intention to 

Recruit New Members. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Commerce is 

announcing the establishment of and 

intention to recruit new members of a 

Federal Advisory Committee. In 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, and the General Services 

Administration rule on Federal 

Advisory Committee Management, 41 

CFR part 101–6.1001, the Secretary of 

Commerce has determined that the 

establishment of the Federal Economic 

Statistics Advisory Committee (the 

‘‘Committee’) within the Economics and 

Statistics Administration (ESA), is in 

the public interest in connection with 

the performance of duties imposed on 

the Department by law. 

The Committee will advise the 

Directors of ESA’s two statistical 

agencies, the Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA) and the U.S. Census 

Bureau (Census), and the Commissioner 

of the Department of Labor’s Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) on statistical 

methodology and other technical 

matters related to the collection, 

tabulation, and analysis of Federal 

economic statistics. 

The Committee will function solely as 

an advisory committee to the senior 

officials of BEA, Census and BLS (the 

Agencies) in consultation with the 

Committee chairperson. Important 

aspects of the Committee’s 

responsibilities include, but are not 

limited to: 

a. Recommending research to address 

important technical problems arising in 

Federal economic statistics. 

b. Identifying areas in which better 

coordination of the Agencies’ activities 

would be beneficial. 

c. Establishing relationships with 

professional associations with an 

interest in Federal economic statistics. 

d. Coordinating, in its identification 

of agenda items, with other existing 

academic advisory committees 

chartered to provide agency-specific 

advice, for the purpose of avoiding 

duplication of effort.

The Committee will report to the 

Under Secretary for Economic Affairs 

who, as head of ESA, will coordinate 

and collaborate with the Agencies.

Commerce. Members shall be

Commerce, in consultation with the 

Agencies, under the coordination of the 

Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, 

and appointed by the Secretary of 

Commerce. Committee members shall 

be economists, statisticians, survey 

methodologists, and behavioral 

scientists and will be chosen to achieve 

a balanced membership across those 

disciplines. Members shall be 

prominent experts in their fields, and 

recognized for their scientific and 

professional achievements and 

objectivity. 

The Department intends to recruit 

new members of the Committee that 

meet these membership criteria through 

a separate Federal Register notice and 

application process in the near future. 

The Committee will function solely as 

an advisory body, in compliance with 

the provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. The Charter will be

Committee Act.

of the Time Limit for the Preliminary 

Results of the Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, 

telephone: (202) 482–2769. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

4, 2010, the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on wooden 

bedroom furniture from the People’s 

Republic of China. See Initiation of 

Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Wooden 

Bedroom Furniture From the People’s 

Republic of China, 75 FR 9869 (March 

4, 2010). The period of review is January 

1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. 

The preliminary results of the 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than October 4, 2010. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’), the Department shall make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. However, 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 the 

time period to a maximum of 365 days. 

Completion of the preliminary results of 

this review within the 245-day period is 

not practicable because the Department 

needs additional time to analyze 

information pertaining to the 

respondents’ sales practices, factors of 

production, and corporate relationships, 

and to issue and review responses to 

supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, 

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

of the Act, the Department is fully 

extending the time period for 

completing the preliminary results of 

the instant administrative review until 

January 30, 2011. However, January 30, 

2011, falls on a Sunday, and it is the 

Department’s long-standing practice to 

issue a determination on the next 

business day when the statutory 

deadline falls on a weekend. 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 of the review is now 

no later than January 31, 2011. The final 

results continue to be due 120 days after 

the publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.
