Background
On September 28, 2005, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
cut-to-length carbon steel plate from
Germany, covering the period August 1,
2004, to July 31, 2005. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631
(September 28, 2005). The preliminary
results of this review are currently due
no later than May 3, 2006.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review within 245 days
after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order or finding for which
a review is requested. Consistent with
E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM
06APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 66 / Thursday, April 6, 2006 / Notices
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the 245-day
period to 365 days if it is not practicable
to complete the review within a 245-day
period.
We determine that completion of the
preliminary results of this review within
the 245-day period is not practicable. A
number of complex issues concerning
the respondent company’s
intercorporate relationships have arisen
in the case. As a result, the Department
needs additional time to gather
supplemental responses from the
company and its affiliate participating
in the review. In order to obtain and
analyze the necessary additional
information, we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary
results of review by 120 days to August
31, 2006, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s
regulations. Therefore, the preliminary
results are now due no later than August
31, 2006. The final results continue to
be due 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: March 30, 2006.

results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
malleable iron pipe fittings from the
People’s Republic of China covering the
period December 2, 2003, through
November 30, 2004. See Certain
Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings From the
People’s Republic of China: Notice of
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR
76234 (December 23, 2005)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The final
results of review are currently due no
later than April 22, 2006.
Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department shall issue the preliminary
results of an administrative review
within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of the date of
publication of the antidumping duty
order. The Act further provides that the
Department shall issue the final results
of review within 120 days after the date
on which the notice of the preliminary
results was published in the Federal
Register. However, if the Department
determines that it is not practicable to
complete the review within this time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
and section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations allow the
Department to extend the 245-day
period to 365 days and the 120-day
period to 180 days. We find that it is not
practicable to complete the final results
in this administrative review by April
22, 2006, because additional time is
needed to analyze a significant amount
of information submitted in response to
supplemental questionnaires that were
issued subsequent to the Preliminary
Results. Therefore, the Department is
extending the time limit for the
completion of these final results by 60
days until no later than Wednesday,
June 21, 2006, which is 180 days from
the date on which the notice of the
Preliminary Results was published.
Briefing and Hearing Request Schedule
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department stated that it would notify
all parties of the briefing and hearing
request schedule at a later date. Any
interested party may submit case briefs
and/or written comments, and request a
hearing, within 20 days of the date of
publication of this notice. The deadline
for interested parties to submit rebuttal
briefs and rebuttals to written
comments, limited to issues raised in
such briefs or comments, is 27 days after
the publication of this notice of

extension. A hearing, if requested, will
be held at the main Commerce
Department building at a time and
location to be determined.
Issues raised in hearings will be
limited to those raised in the respective
case and rebuttal briefs. Parties who
submit case or rebuttal briefs in these
proceedings are requested to submit
with each argument (1) a statement of
the issue, and (2) a brief summary of the
argument with an electronic version
included.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A)
