SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 7, 2007, the Department published the preliminary
results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada. See Notice of
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Carbon
and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod From Canada, 72 FR 62816 (November 7,
2007) (Preliminary Results). This review covers Ivaco Rolling Mills
2004 L.P. and Sivaco Ontario (a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004
L.P.) (collectively referred to as ``Ivaco''), for the period October
1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. On November 29, 2007, we sent a
supplemental questionnaire to Ivaco pertaining to the level of trade
issue. Ivaco submitted its response on December 13, 2007. Petitioners
(Mittal Steel USA Inc.--Georgetown, Gerdau USA Inc., Nucor Steel
Connecticut Inc., Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., and Rocky
Mountain Steel Mills) provided comment on Ivaco's response on December
21, 2007. Ivaco responded to petitioners' comments on December 31,
2007. The Department extended the deadlines for case filing briefs and
rebuttal briefs because of its request for new information after
issuing its preliminary results. Ivaco and petitioners submitted their
case briefs on January 23, 2008. Ivaco and petitioners submitted their
rebuttal briefs on January 30, 2008. The final results are currently
due not later than March 6, 2008.
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable
to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final
results up to 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary
results.
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final
results of this review within current statutory limits. The Department
requires additional time to evaluate the information submitted by
parties after the preliminary results were published. Therefore, we are
extending the deadline for the final results of this review by 60 days,
until no later than May 5, 2008, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 21, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
