BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-122-838] Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada: Extension of the Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

(202)482-5346, respectively; AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. Background On June 30, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain softwood lumber products from Canada, covering the period May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004. *See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review* , 69 FR 39409 (June 30, 2004). The preliminary results are currently due no later than January 31, 2005. The review covers over four hundred producers/exporters of subject merchandise to the United States, of which eight are being individually examined. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to complete the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order/finding for which a review is requested. However, 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 results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order/finding for which a review is requested. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the original time limit due to a number of complex issues which must be addressed prior to the issuance of those results. For example, the Department must analyze the complex corporate structures and affiliations of the eight respondents in this review, including affiliated mills and other entities both in Canada and the United States. In addition, as is our practice, the Department intends to conduct verification of a number of the respondents prior to the issuance of the preliminary results. We estimate that the sales and cost of production verifications will take approximately two months to complete. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review until no later than June 1, 2005. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results notice. Dated: December 27, 2004. Gary S. Taverman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

The requested amendment and modification have been granted under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 *et seq.* ), the Regulations Governing the Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ), and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222-226), and the Fur Seal Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 *et seq.* ). Permit Amendment Permit No. 782-1702-03 authorizes an increase in the number of California sea lions ( *Zalophus californianus* ) that may be accidentally killed from five per year to seven for the year spanning July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005 (starting July 1, 2005, the authorized accidental mortality would revert to five annually).

In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ), a final determination has been made that the activity proposed in permit 782-1702-03 is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. For permit 1409-01 an environmental assessment was prepared analyzing the effects of the permitted activities. After a Finding of No Significant Impact, the determination was made that it was not necessary to prepare an environmental impact statement. Issuance of these permits, as required by the ESA, was based on a finding that such permits:

(1)were applied for in good faith;

(2)will not operate to the disadvantage of such endangered species; and

(3)are consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. Dated: December 27, 2004. Stephen L. Leathery, Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 04-28739 Filed 12-30-04; 8:45 am]
