In the Preliminary Results we stated that we would make our final determination for the antidumping duty review no later than 120 days after the date of publication of the preliminary results (i.e., November 11, 2006). pwalker on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Extension of Time Limit for Final Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) to issue the final results in an administrative review within 120 days of publication date of the preliminary results.

Completion of the final results within the 120-day period is not practicable because this review involves certain complex issues, such as a tariff classification and surrogate financial ratios that both Petitioner and respondent addressed in their briefs. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is partially extending the time period for issuing these final results of review by 30 days until December 11, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: pwalker on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES AGENCY: Background On September 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the countervailing duty order on dynamic random access memory semiconductors (DRAMs) from the Republic of Korea, covering the period January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results This administrative review is extraordinarily complicated due to the complexity of the countervailable subsidy practices alleged in the new subsidy allegations.
