SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping
duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1,
2005, through April 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 37892 (July 3, 2006).
On January 18, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the
preliminary results of reviews by 45 days. See Ball Bearings and Parts
Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United
Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 2261 (January 18, 2007). On March
23, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the
preliminary results of reviews by 16 additional days. See Ball Bearings
and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and
the United Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 13743 (March 23, 2007).
The preliminary results of the reviews are currently due no later than
April 2, 2007.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews
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
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is
published. 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 time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary
results of
[[Page 16765]]
these reviews within the current time limit because of the number of
respondents in these reviews and the complexity of the issues under
analysis such as further-manufacturing operations in the United States,
the ``collapsing'' of companies, and the use of constructed value for
reseller respondents for which we need to issue additional
questionnaires. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of these reviews by 59 additional days until
May 31, 2007.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: March 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
