SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on antifriction bearings and parts thereof from France, 
Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period 
May 1, 2004, through April 30, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 37749 (June 30, 
2005). On October 21, 2005, we published a notice of rescission and 
partial rescission of the antidumping duty administrative reviews of 
ball bearings and parts thereof from Singapore, the United Kingdom, and 
Japan and of spherical plain bearings from France (70 FR 61251). The 
preliminary results of the reviews still underway are currently due no 
later than January 31, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these 
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the original time limit because of the 
number of respondents in these reviews and the complexity of the issues 
under analysis. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results of these reviews by 30 days until March 2, 
2006.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
