orange juice from Brazil (Department of 

Commerce Case No. A–351–840), and 

the ‘‘continued use of the US zeroing 

procedures (‘model’ or ‘simple’ zeroing) 

in successive antidumping 

proceedings.’’ On November 27, 2008, 

Brazil requested consultations with the 

United States concerning the first 

antidumping administrative review on 

certain orange juice from Brazil and 

various U.S. laws, regulations, 

administrative procedures, practices, 

and methodologies. Those requests may 

be found at www.wto.org contained in 

documents designated as WT/DS382/1/ 

Add.1 and WT/DS382/1, respectively.

consultations regarding the 

antidumping duty investigation in 

Certain Orange Juice from Brazil: Final 

Results and Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Administrative Review 

(A–351–840), covering the period from 

October 1, 2003, to September 30, 2004,

(January 13, 2006), the antidumping 

duty order, 71 FR 12183 (Mar. 9, 2006), 

and any cash deposits issued pursuant 

thereto; and the antidumping duty 

administrative review covering the

Capital Investments in Surface 

Transportation Infrastructure Under 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation (‘‘OST’’). 

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability. 

SUMMARY: On May 18, 2009, the 

Department of Transportation published 

an interim notice announcing the 

availability of funding for TIGER 

Discretionary Grants (as defined below), 

project selection criteria, application 

requirements and the deadline for 

submitting applications. Because this is 

a new program, the interim notice also 

requested comments on the proposed 

selection criteria and guidance for 

awarding TIGER Discretionary Grants. 

The Department considered the 

comments that were submitted in 

accordance with the interim notice and 

has decided to publish this notice 

revising some elements of the interim 

notice. Each of the substantive revisions 

made in this notice are described below 

in ‘‘Supplemental Information.’’ In the 

event that this solicitation does not 

result in the award and obligation of all 

available funds, the Department may 

decide to publish an additional 

solicitation. 

DATES: Complete applications for TIGER 

Discretionary Grants must be submitted 

by September 15, 2009 (the 

‘‘Application Deadline’’). While 

applicants are encouraged to submit 

applications in advance of the 

Application Deadline, applications will 

not be evaluated, and awards will not be 

made, until after the Application 

Deadline. Due to the need to expedite 

the grant award process to meet the 

requirements and purposes of the 

Recovery Act (as defined below), the 

Department will evaluate all 

applications and announce the projects 

that have been selected to receive Grant 

Funds (as defined below) as soon as 

possible after the Application Deadline, 

but no later than February 17, 2010. In
