(collectively Dofasco). On September 28,
2005, the Department published a notice

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall issue preliminary
results in an administrative review of an
antidumping duty 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 that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period.
In light of the complexity in analyzing
issues pertaining to level of trade, it is
not practicable for the Department to
complete this review by the current
deadline of May 3, 2006. Therefore, in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, the Department is extending the
time limit for the preliminary results
until no later than August 31, 2006,
which is 365 days after the last day of
the anniversary month of the date of
publication of the order. The final
results continue to be due 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary
results, in accordance with section
351.213 (h) of the Department’s
regulations.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance to sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
