SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, on August 24, 2007, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
this antidumping duty administrative review. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613, August 24, 2007. The review covers 
the period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007. The preliminary results 
for these administrative reviews are currently due no later than April 
1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. However, 
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 245 day time period for the preliminary results to 365 days.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit because we require 
additional time to conduct a sales below-cost investigation in this 
administrative review and to collect and analyze other information 
needed for our preliminary results. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limits for completion of the preliminary results of 
this administrative review until no later than July 30, 2008, which is 
365 days from the last day of the anniversary month of these orders. We 
intend to issue the final results in this review no later than 120 days 
after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 4, 2008.
Stephen Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
