SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limit for Sunset Review:

    On November 10, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') extended the time limit for the sunset review of the 
agreement suspending the antidumping investigation on uranium from the 
Russian Federation in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See, Extension of Time 
Limit for Sunset Review of the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping 
Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation, 70 FR 68397 
(November 10, 2005) (``Notice of Extension''). On January 17, 2006, the 
Department determined to conduct a full sunset review of this suspended 
investigation. See, Memorandum from Sally C. Gannon to Ronald K. 
Lorentzen; ``Sunset Review of Uranium from the Russian Federation: 
Adequacy of Domestic and Respondent Interested Party Responses to the 
Notice of Initiation and Decision to Conduct Full Sunset Review,'' 
dated January 17, 2006. On January 24, 2006, the Department determined 
to provide an additional extension of the time limit for the 
preliminary results of this sunset review until February 17, 2006. See, 
Extension of Time Limit for Sunset Review of the Agreement Suspending 
the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation, 
71 FR 3824 (January 24, 2006).
    Pursuant to section 351.218(f) of the Department's regulations, the 
Department normally will issue its preliminary results in a full sunset 
review not later that 110 days after the date of publication in the 
Federal Register of the notice of initiation. However, as determined in 
the Notice of Extension, the sunset review of the agreement suspending 
the antidumping investigation on uranium from the Russian Federation is 
extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time for the 
Department to complete its analysis. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the deadline for the preliminary results in this proceeding 
by an additional 35 days and, as a result, intends to issue the 
preliminary results of the full sunset review no later than March 24, 
2006. The Department will issue its final results of the full sunset 
review on May 30, 2006, as specified in the Notice of Extension.
    This notice is issued in accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 
(C)(v) of the Act.

    Dated: February 17, 2006.
Carole Showers,
Acting Director Office of Policy.
