period is not practicable, given the
extraordinarily complicated nature of
the proceeding. The 2005–2006
administrative and new shipper reviews
cover four companies, and to conduct
the sales and factor analyses for each
requires the Department to gather and
analyze a significant amount of
information pertaining to each
company’s sales practices and
manufacturing methods. In addition, the
Department must analyze the responses
of thirteen separate–rate respondents to
determine their eligibility for a
separate–rate. Therefore, the
Department requires more time to
complete these analyses. Additionally,
the Department requires additional time
to analyze the verification findings of
the three companies verified.
Therefore, given the number and
complexity of issues in this case, and in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of review by 40
days to 285 days. Therefore, the
preliminary results will be due no later
than February 9, 2007. The final results
continue to be due 120 days after the
publication of the preliminary results.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the
Act.
Dated: December 19, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 3, 2005, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published in the Federal Register the
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 70 FR 57558
(Oct. 3, 2005), for the above–cited
segment of this antidumping duty
proceeding. On October 31, 2005, the
Department received a timely filed
request for review from the Canadian
Wheat Board. The Canadian Wheat
Board also timely filed a request to defer
for one year the initiation of the
administrative review. The Department
received no objections to this request
from any party cited in 19 CFR
351.213(c)(1)(ii). On December 1, 2005,
the Department published in the
Federal Register the Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 72107
(Dec. 1, 2005), which granted the
Canadian Wheat Board’s request for
deferral of administrative review for one
year. On November 27, 2006, the
Department published in the Federal
Register the Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 68535 (Nov. 27, 2006), in
which the Department automatically
initiated the above–referenced deferred
administrative review of Certain Hard
Red Spring Wheat from Canada.
On December 6, 2006, we received a
timely filed submission from the
Canadian Wheat Board withdrawing its
request for an administrative review.
Rescission of Antidumping
Administrative Review
The Canadian Wheat Board filed its
withdrawal request within the deadline
established by section 351.213(d)(1) of
the Department’s regulations. No other
parties have requested a review of the
Canadian Wheat Board or any other
producer or exporter of the subject
merchandise. Therefore, we are
rescinding the above–cited
administrative review in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For the company for
which this review is rescinded,
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
77371
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 41
days of publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Rates
The Department has revoked the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on Certain Hard Red Spring
Wheat from Canada. See Antidumping
Duty Investigation and Countervailing
Duty Investigation of Hard Red Spring
Wheat from Canada: Notice of Panel
Decision, Revocation of Countervailing
and Antidumping Duty Orders and
Termination of Suspension of
Liquidation, 71 FR 8275 (Feb. 16, 2006).
The effective date of the revocation is
January 2, 2006. Therefore, the CBP has
been directed to terminate the
suspension of liquidation for all
shipments of Certain Hard Red Spring
Wheat from Canada entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after January 2,
2006.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the antidumping duty order on oil
country tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’) from

entitled ‘‘Preliminary Results of
Review.’’

accordance with section 751(c) of the
Act. See Initiation of Five–Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 31153 (June

Jkt 211001
Tubulars Inc., Lone Star Steel Company,
Koppel Steel (NS Group), Maverick
Tube Corporation, Newport Steel (NS
Group) and V&M Star LP (collectively
‘‘the domestic interested parties’’),
within the 15–day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act, as manufacturers of a domestic–
like product in the United States.
The Department received complete
substantive responses to the notice of
initiation from the interested parties
Hylsa S.A. de CV (‘‘Hylsa’’) and Tubos
de Aceros de Mexico, S.A. (‘‘TAMSA’’)
(collectively ‘‘respondent interested
parties’’) within the 30–day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department received rebuttal
responses from domestic interested
parties to the substantive responses
from the respondent interested parties
on July 5, 2006, and July 14, 2006,
respectively.
19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A) provides
that the Secretary normally will
conclude that respondent interested
parties have provided adequate
response to a notice of initiation where
the Department receives complete
substantive responses from respondent
interested parties accounting on average
for more than 50 percent, by volume, or
value, if appropriate, of the total exports
of the subject merchandise to the United
States over the five calendar years
preceding the year of publication of the
notice of initiation. On July 21, 2006,
the Department found that respondent
interested parties accounted for more
than 50 percent of exports by volume of
the subject merchandise from Mexico to
the United States. See Memorandum to
Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
from John K. Drury entitled, ‘‘Adequacy
Determination: Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Oil
Country Tubular Goods from Mexico,’’
(July 21, 2006). In accordance with 19
CFR 351.218(e)(2)(i), the Department
determined to conduct a full sunset
review of this antidumping duty order.
On September 25, 2006, in accordance
with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the
Department extended the deadlines for
the preliminary and final results of this
sunset review by 90 days. See Oil
Country Tubular Goods from Mexico;

Preliminary and Final Results of Full
Five–year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of
Antidumping Duty Order, 71 FR 55774.
The final results of the full sunset
review of this antidumping duty order
are due on or before April 27, 2007.

published in the Federal Register the Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 72107 (Dec. 1, 2005), which granted the

On December 6, 2006, we received a timely filed submission from the
Canadian Wheat Board withdrawing its request for an administrative
review.
Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review
The Canadian Wheat Board filed its withdrawal request within the
deadline established by section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's
regulations. No other parties have requested a review of the Canadian
Wheat Board or any other producer or exporter of the subject
merchandise. Therefore, we are rescinding the above-cited
administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For

shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from

The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly
to CBP within 41 days of publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Rates
The Department has revoked the antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on Certain Hard Red Spring Wheat from Canada. See Antidumping
Duty Investigation and Countervailing Duty Investigation of Hard Red
Spring Wheat from Canada: Notice of Panel Decision, Revocation of
Countervailing and Antidumping Duty Orders and Termination of
Suspension of Liquidation, 71 FR 8275 (Feb. 16, 2006). The effective
