See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 61601 (October 25, 2005). The preliminary results are currently due no later than June 2, 2006. 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 to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete a review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 245–day time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days and the time limit for the final determination to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary determination) from the date of publication of the preliminary determination. The Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the original time limit because the review involves examining a number of complex issues regarding affiliation and post sales price adjustments. Therefore, the Department is fully extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this review by 120 days. The preliminary results of review will now be due on October 2, 2006, which is the first business day after the 120–day extension (the 120th day falls on a weekend).

Statutory Time Limits

    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 for which a 
review is requested, and 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 these time periods, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the

[[Page 30659]]

maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an 
order for which a review is requested, and (2) the final results to 180 
days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for 
the preliminary results) from the date of publication of the

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limits. Specifically, a 
complex affiliation issue has been raised. Korea Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., 
has reported that it is affiliated with Hwangyoung Steel Industries Co. 
Ltd., and has reported the home market sales and cost of production for 
this company. The Department needs more time to evaluate the 
affiliation issue and the reported data more thoroughly. For these 
reasons, we are extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results until no later than September 30, 2006. We intend 
to issue the final results no later than 120 days after publication of 
the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 23, 2006.
