Notice of Extension of Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod From 
Brazil

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 14, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Constance Handley or David Neubacher, 
at (202) 482-0631 or (202) 482-5823, respectively; AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue (1) the preliminary results of a 
review within 245 days after the last day of the month in which occurs 
the anniversary of the date of publication of an order or finding for 
which a review is requested, and (2) 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 that time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days and 
the final results to a maximum of 180 days (or 300 days if the 
Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) 
from the date of the publication of the preliminary results. See also 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Extension of Final Results of Reviews

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limits. Due to the 
complexity of issues present in this administrative review, such as the 
issues of affiliation and adverse facts available, the Department needs 
more time to address these items and evaluate the issues more 
thoroughly. The Department also needs more time to address issues 
raised in the formal scope inquiry that was initiated in conjunction 
with the administrative review on the exclusion of Grade 1080 Tire Cord 
Quality Wire Rod and Tire Bead Quality Wire Rod. Therefore, we are 
extending the deadline for the final results of the above-referenced 
review by 60 days. This 60-day extension of the final results falls on 
Saturday, May 7, 2005; therefore, the final results will be issued no 
later than the first business day thereafter, Monday, May 9, 2005.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 8, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
