The current deadline for the final results of this review is January 9, 2007. Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue the final results in an administrative review within 120 days of the date on which the preliminary results were published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jkt 211001 Background On August 11, 1995, the Department published the antidumping duty order on OCTG from Argentina. See Antidumping Duty Order: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Argentina, 60 FR 41055 (August 11, 1995). On August 1, 2006, we published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request administrative reviews. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 71 FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 31, 2006, United States Steel Corporation (petitioner) requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of sales of the subject merchandise made by Siderca. On September 29, 2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of this administrative review. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). The Department issued its antidumping duty questionnaire to Siderca on October 13, 2006. In response, Siderca stated in a November 1, 2006, submission that it had no entries for consumption of subject merchandise of OCTG during the POR, and requested that the Department rescind the administrative review with respect to Siderca. On October 30, 2006, the Department placed on the record of the review copies of documents regarding entries of subject merchandise from Argentina that it obtained from U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On November 20, 2006, the Department issued a letter to petitioners, domestic interested parties, and Siderca stating that the Department intended to rescind the review for want of a reviewable consumption entry by Siderca. We invited parties to submit comments on our intent to rescind the review. We requested that any comments be submitted by December 1, 2006. We received no comments.
