The Department also intends to develop an email notification system to provide parties notice of upcoming developments. Those interested in being included in the email notification system should provide the Department with their email address. Email addresses may be submitted in writing E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1

instant review to allow interested parties to submit new factual 
information. See ``Letter To All Interested Parties from James C. Doyle

the People's Republic of China,'' dated November 6, 2006. On December 
22, 2006, the petitioner submitted a revised, final bracketed version 
of its timely filed November 13, 2006 submission, which contained 
comments regarding the Sansico Group's claim of no shipments.\1\ On

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of an administrative 
review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of 
the order for which the administrative review was requested, and the 
final results of the review within 120 days after the date on which the

351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time limit for the 
completion of these preliminary results by an additional 43 days to

day extension. The final results, in turn, will be due 120 days after 
the date of issuance of the preliminary results, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
