SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 8, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of this administrative review of 
silicon metal from Brazil. See Silicon Metal From Brazil: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 45665 (August 
8, 2005) (``Preliminary Results''). In the Preliminary Results we 
stated that we would make our final determination for the antidumping 
duty review no later than 120 days after the date of publication of the 
preliminary results (i.e., December 6, 2005).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Department is extending the time limit for the final results of 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon 
metal from Brazil. This review covers the period July 1, 2003, through 
June 30, 2004.
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified, the 
administering authority may extend the 120-day period, following the 
date of publication of the preliminary results, to issue its final 
results by an additional 60 days. Completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable due to a delay in the 
schedule for submission of interested party arguments and given the 
number and complexity of issues raised in this review segment, 
including issues regarding depreciation and financial expenses.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing

the final results of review by an additional sixty days until no later 
than February 4, 2006.

    Dated: November 23, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
