BILLING CODE 3510-33-M DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-588-856, A-580-846, A-469-810] Stainless Steel Angle From Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Spain: Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of Orders AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On April 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (Department) initiated the sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel angle from Japan, the Republic of Korea (Korea), and Spain (71 FR 16551).
Because the domestic interested parties did not participate in these sunset reviews, the Department is revoking these antidumping duty orders. EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jill Pollack or Brandon Farlander, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone:
(202)482-4593 or
(202)482-0182, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 18, 2001, the Department issued antidumping duty orders on stainless steel angle from Japan, Korea, and Spain (66 FR 27628). On April 3, 2006, the Department initiated sunset reviews of these orders. *See Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews* , 71 FR 16551 (Apr. 3, 2006). We did not receive a notice of intent to participate from domestic interested parties in any of these sunset reviews by the deadline date. As a result, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), the Department determined that no domestic interested party intends to participate in the sunset reviews, and on April 24, 2006, we notified the International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intended to issue final determinations revoking these antidumping duty orders. *See* 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2). Scope of the Orders For purposes of these orders, the term “stainless steel angle” includes hot-rolled, whether or not annealed or descaled, stainless steel products of equal leg length angled at 90 degrees, that are not otherwise advanced. The stainless steel angle subject to these orders is currently classifiable under subheadings 7222.40.30.20 and 7222.40.30.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Specifically excluded from the scope of these orders is stainless steel angle of unequal leg length. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive. Determination to Revoke Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a notice of intent to participate, the Department shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, issue a final determination revoking the order. Because the domestic interested parties did not file a notice of intent to participate in these sunset reviews, the Department finds that no domestic interested party is participating in these sunset reviews. Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 751(c)(3) of the Act, we are revoking these antidumping duty orders. The effective date of revocation is May 18, 2006, the fifth anniversary of the date the Department published these antidumping duty orders. *See* 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i). Effective Date of Revocation Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to these orders entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after May 18, 2006. Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and antidumping duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending administrative reviews of these orders and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review. These five-year (sunset) reviews and notice are in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: June 9, 2006. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 15, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Farlander or Natalie Kempkey, at
(202)482-0182 or
(202)482-1698, respectively; AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14 th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping order on stainless steel bar from Germany for the period March 1, 2004, through February 28, 2005 ( *See Stainless Steel Bar from Germany: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review* , 71 FR 5811 (February 3, 2006) (“ *Preliminary Results* ”)). On May 11, 2006, the Department published its first extension of the time limit for the final results of this administrative review ( *See Notice of Extension of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Stainless Steel Bar from Germany* , 71 FR 27465 (May 11, 2006)). The current deadline for the final results of this review is July 3, 2006. Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), requires the Department to issue
(1)the preliminary results of a review within 245 days after the last day of the month in which occurs the anniversary of the date of publication of an order or finding for which a review is requested, and
(2)the final results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within that time period, 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 and the final results to a maximum of 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of the publication of the preliminary results. *See* 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within the extended time limits. Due to the complexity of issues present in this administrative review, such as BGH's claim of a downward adjustment to normal value for home market commissions and the Department's upward adjustment to BGH's cost of manufacture, the Department needs additional time to address these items and evaluate the issues more thoroughly. Therefore, we are extending the deadline for the final results of this review by 14 days. Accordingly, the final results will be issued no later than July 17, 2006. This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). Dated: June 9, 2006. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. E6-9368 Filed 6-14-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-S DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration Exemption of Foreign Air Carriers From Excise Taxes; Discontinuance of Exemption; Republic of Bolivia AGENCY: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce. ACTION: Notification to the Secretary of Treasury by the Secretary of Commerce, or his designee, of the discontinuance of the existing exemption for aircraft registered in the Republic of Bolivia from certain internal revenue taxes on the purchase of supplies in the United States for such aircraft in connection with their international commercial operations. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of Commerce has determined that the Government of Bolivia has discontinued allowing substantially reciprocal tax exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry in connection with international commercial operations similar to those exemptions currently granted to aircraft of Bolivian registry by the United States. The Department reached this determination after a review conducted pursuant to Section 4221 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C. 4221). The above-cited statute provides exceptions for aircraft of foreign registry from payment of certain internal revenue taxes on the purchase of supplies in the United States for such aircraft in connection with their international commercial operations. These exemptions apply upon a finding by the Secretary of Commerce, or his designee, and communicated to the Department of the Treasury, that such country allows, or will allow, “substantially reciprocal privileges” to aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to purchases of such supplies in that country. If a foreign country discontinues the allowance of such substantially reciprocal exemption, the exemption allowed by the United States will not apply after the Secretary of the Treasury is notified by the Secretary of Commerce, or his designee, of the discontinuance. Interested parties were invited in a **Federal Register** Notice dated June 30, 2005, to submit their views, comments and supporting documentation in writing concerning this matter to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Department then conducted its review. Those desiring additional information contact Mr. Eugene Alford, Office of Service Industries, Room 1104, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, or telephone 202-482-5071. Dated: June 9, 2006. Albert A. Frink, Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing and Services. [FR Doc.

The sanctuary includes nursery and spawning grounds for commercially important species, over 33 species of marine mammals, and 15 species of breeding seabirds. The Farallon Islands themselves contain the largest concentration of breeding seabirds in the contiguous United States. Key habitats include coastal beaches, rocky shores, mud and tidal flats, salt marsh, estuaries, and pelagic waters. Additionally, the area within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) north of the San Mateo/Santa Cruz county boundary is administered by the GFNMS. The legal boundaries of each sanctuary remain as is. The GFNMS is responsible for developing and managing most sanctuary programs within this area, with the exception that the MBNMS is responsible for the Water Quality Protection Program. The GFNMS Advisory Council was originally chartered in 2001, with seven voting members. It has recently been expanded to 12 voting members. The primary focus of the Council is to advise the Sanctuary Manager regarding the implementation of the sanctuary management plan, in conjunction with the contiguous Monterey Bay and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries.
