11148 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 36 / Thursday, February 22, 2001 / Notices

If not, we expensed the grant in the year

of receipt. DSM received no

disbursements in the POI. If the grant

exceeded 0.5 percent of sales in the year

of approval, we treated it as a zero-rate

loan. For ‘‘loans’’ outstanding during

the POI, the subsidy was less than 0.005

percent under any calculation

methodology. Therefore, we are not

computing a benefit for this program.

See the February 14, 2001, Preliminary

Affirmative Countervailing Duty

Determination: Pure Magnesium from

Israel Calculation Memorandum for

DSM.

II. Programs Preliminarily Determined

To Be Not Used

The following programs were not

used:

A. ECIL Tax Rate benefits

B. ECIL Depreciation Preferences

C. Magnesium Research Institute (MRI)

and Consortium Research Programs

Verification

In accordance with section 782(i)(1) of

the Act, we will verify the information

submitted by the respondents prior to

making our final determination.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section

703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we have

calculated an individual rate for DSM,

the sole manufacturer of the subject

merchandise. We preliminarily

determine that the total estimated net

countervailable subsidy rate is 13.39

percent ad valorem. Because we only

investigated one producer/exporter,

DSM’s rate will also serve as the ‘‘all

others’’ rate. Therefore, the ‘‘all others’’

rate is 13.39 percent ad valorem.

In accordance with section 703(d) of

the Act, we are directing the U.S.

Customs Service to suspend liquidation

of all entries of pure magnesium from

Israel which are entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse, for consumption on or

after the date of the publication of this

notice in the Federal Register, and to

require a cash deposit or bond for such

entries of the merchandise in the

amounts indicated above. This

suspension will remain in effect until

further notice.

ITC Notification

In accordance with section 703(f) of

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our

determination. In addition, we are

making available to the ITC all

nonprivileged and nonproprietary

information relating to this

investigation. We will allow the ITC

access to all privileged and business

proprietary information in our files,

provided the ITC confirms that it will

not disclose such information, either

publicly or under an administrative

protective order, without the written

consent of the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration. If our final

determination is affirmative, the ITC

will make its final determination within

45 days after the Department makes its

final determination.

Public Comment

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.310,

we will hold a public hearing, if

requested, to afford interested parties an

opportunity to comment on this

preliminary determination. The hearing

is tentatively scheduled to be held 57

days from the date of publication of the

preliminary determination or the next

business day thereafter, at the U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street

and Constitution Avenue, NW,

Washington, DC 20230. Individuals who

wish to request a hearing must submit

a written request within 30 days of the

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register to the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, Room 1870, 14th Street

and Constitution Avenue, NW,

Washington, DC 20230. Parties should

confirm by telephone the time, date, and

place of the hearing 48 hours before the

scheduled time. Requests for a public

hearing should contain: (1) The party’s

name, address, and telephone number;

(2) the number of participants; and, (3)

to the extent practicable, an

identification of the arguments to be

raised at the hearing. In addition, six

copies of the business proprietary

version and six copies of the

nonproprietary version of the case briefs

must be submitted to the Assistant

Secretary no later than 50 days from the

date of publication of the preliminary

determination.

As part of the case brief, parties are

encouraged to provide a summary of the

arguments, not to exceed five pages, and

a table of statutes, regulations, and cases

cited. Six copies of the business

proprietary version and six copies of the

non-proprietary version of the rebuttal

briefs must be submitted to the

Assistant Secretary no later than 5 days

from the date of filing of the case briefs.

An interested party may make an

affirmative presentation only on

arguments included in that party’s case

or rebuttal briefs. Written arguments

should be submitted in accordance with

19 CFR 351.309 and will be considered

if received within the time limits

specified above.

This determination is published

pursuant to sections 703(f) and 777(i) of

the Act. Effective January 20, 2001,

Bernard T. Carreau is fulfilling the

duties of the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Authority

The Secretary of Commerce

(Secretary) is authorized under 15

U.S.C. 713c-3(d) to carry out a national

program of research and development

addressed to such aspects of U.S.

fisheries (including, but not limited to,

harvesting, processing, marketing and to

associated infrastructures), if not

adequately covered by projects assisted

under 15 U.S.C. 713c-3(c), as the

Secretary deems appropriate.

II. Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance

This program is described in the

‘‘Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance’’ (CFDA) under program

number 11.433, Marine Fisheries

Initiative (MARFIN).

III. Program Description

MARFIN is a competitive Federal

assistance program that funds projects

that seek to optimize research and

development benefits from U.S. marine

fishery resources through cooperative

efforts involving the best research and

management talents to accomplish

priority activities. Projects funded under

MARFIN provide answers for fishery

needs covered by the NMFS Strategic

Plan, available from the Southeast

Regional Office (see ADDRESSES),

particularly those goals relating to:

rebuilding overfished marine fisheries,

maintaining currently productive

fisheries, and integrating conservation

of protected species and fisheries

management. Areas of emphasis for

MARFIN are formulated from

recommendations received from nonFederal scientific and technical experts,

and from NMFS research and operations

officials.

IV. Funding Availability

Approximately $2.20 million may be

available in fiscal year (FY) 2001 for

funding projects. This amount includes

possible in-house projects and $750,000

for 1-year projects for red snapper

research. (See XI. Project Funding

Priorities.) Publication of this notice

does not obligate NMFS to award any

specific cooperative agreement nor to

obligate all or any parts of the available

funds.

Project proposals accepted for funding

for a project period over 1 year that

include multiple project components

and severable tasks to be funded during

each budget period do not compete for

funding in subsequent budget periods

within the approved project period.

However, funding for subsequent

project components is contingent upon

the availability of funds and satisfactory

performance and will be at the sole

discretion of the agency.

V. No Matching Requirements

Cost-sharing is not required for the

MARFIN program. Applications must

provide the total budget necessary to

accomplish the project, including

contributions and/or donations. The

appropriateness of all cost-sharing will

be determined on the basis of guidance

provided in applicable Federal cost

principles. If an applicant chooses to

cost-share, and if that application is

selected for funding, the applicant will

be bound by the percentage of the cost

share reflected in the cooperative

agreement award.

The non-Federal share may include

the value of in-kind contributions by the

applicant or third parties or funds

received from private sources or from

state or local governments. Federal

funds may not be used to meet the nonFederal share of matching funds, except

as provided by Federal statute. Third

party in-kind contributions may be in

the form of, but are not limited to,

personal services rendered in carrying

out functions related to the project and

use of real or personal property owned

by others (for which consideration is not

required) in carrying out the projects. 15

U.S.C. 713c-3(c)(4)(B) provides that the

amount of the grant is no less than 50
