EFFECTIVE DATE: May 25, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Damian Felton or Brandon Farlander,
AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 3, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
published an opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from
Canada for the period October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Filing, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity to Request an Administrative Review, 70 FR
57558 (October 3, 2005). On October 31, 2005, respondent Ivaco Rolling
Mills L.P. (now known as Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P.) (``IRM''), a
producer and exporter of subject merchandise, and respondent Sivaco
Ontario Processing (aka Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group
2004 L.P.), a processor and exporter of the subject merchandise,
requested a review. No other interested parties requested a review. On
December 1, 2005, the Department published its notice of initiation of
an antidumping administrative review on carbon and certain alloy steel
wire rod from Canada. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 70
FR 72107 (December 1, 2005). The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due July 3, 2006.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue preliminary results
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of
publication of the order for which a review is requested and the final
results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results
are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review
within the specified time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365
days and 180 days, respectively.
Completion of the preliminary results within the originally
anticipated time limit, July 3, 2006, is impracticable because this
review requires the Department to analyze complex issues regarding
IRM's and Sivaco Ontario's corporate structures and their affiliations
and corporate relationships. Because it is not practicable to complete
the review within the time specified under the Act, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time
limit for completion of the preliminary results by 30 days to August 2,
2006. The deadline for the final results of this administrative review
continues to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary
results.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 19, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
