SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 30, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of antidumping duty new shipper review 
on certain carbon steel welded pipe and tube from Turkey covering the 
period of review (POR) from May 1, 2004, through, April 30, 2005. See 
Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube from Turkey: Notice of 
Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review for the Period May 1, 
2004, through April 30, 2005, 70 FR 39487 (June 30, 2005). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than December 27, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, requires the Department to 
issue the preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days 
of the date it was initiated. However, if the Department concludes that 
the case is extraordinarily complicated, it may extend the 180-day 
period to 300 days. Based on an allegation filed by the petitioner, we 
initiated a sales-below- cost investigation on September 28, 2005, and 
received the response to section D of the questionnaire on November 9, 
2005. In order to allow sufficient time to analyze the sales and cost 
data and to issue supplemental questionnaires, we must extend the time 
limit to complete the preliminary results of this review. Given the 
complexity of this case, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, we are extending the time limit for 
issuing the preliminary results of review until April 26, 2006, which 
is 300 days after the date of initiation. The deadline for the final 
results of this review will continue to be 90 days after publication of 
the preliminary results.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777 (i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(I)(2).

    Dated: November 28, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
