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

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kit Rudd or Nicole Bankhead, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register the preliminary results 
of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Brake Rotors From 
the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Twelfth New 
Shipper Review, 70 FR 56634 (``Preliminary Results''). The final 
results are currently due on December 19, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue final results in a new shipper 
review of an antidumping

[[Page 75450]]

duty order 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
issued. Section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations state, 
however, that if the Department determines that a new shipper review is 
extraordinarily complicated, the Department may extend the 90-day 
period to 150 days. The Department finds that the complicated nature of 
this review necessitates an extension of time beyond the 90-day period 
to complete the final results.
    On October 17, 2005, the Department granted the Coalition for the 
Preservation of American Brake Drum and Rotor Aftermarket Manufacturers 
(``Petitioner'') an extension of time to file publicly available 
information to value certain factors of production in the final results 
of the review. In addition, on October 25, 2005, the Department granted 
respondents Laizhou Wally Automobile Co., Ltd. (``Wally'') and Dixion 
Brake System (Longkou) Ltd. an extension of time to file their case 
briefs and rebuttal briefs. As a result of these extensions, the 
Department requires additional time to analyze the complex issues 
contained in the parties' comments and briefs, including the 
Petitioner's argument regarding the bona fide nature of Wally's sales.
    Therefore, for the reasons cited above, we are extending the time 
limit for the completion of the final results of this review by 30 
days, until no later than January 18, 2006. This notice is published in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 
351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: December 13, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
