SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 27, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain steel concrete reinforcing bars from 
Turkey (70 FR 30694). The period of review is April 1, 2004, through 
March 31, 2005, and the preliminary results are currently due no later 
than December 31, 2005. The review covers 34 producers/exporters of the 
subject merchandise to the United States.

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 order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to 
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because this review involves a number 
of complicated issues for certain of the respondents, including the 
reporting of downstream sales for affiliated resellers. Analysis of 
these issues requires additional time. Therefore, we have fully 
extended the deadline for completing the preliminary results until May 
1, 2006, which is the next business day after 365 days from the last 
day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. 
The deadline for the final results of the review continues to be 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: November 17, 2005.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
