SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 21, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of tapered roller bearings and 
parts thereof, finished or unfinished, from the People's Republic of 
China for the period June 1, 2004, through May 31, 2005. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 42028 (July 21, 2005). The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than March 2, 
2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue preliminary results within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time period to a maximum of 365 days. Completion of the preliminary 
results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable 
because the Department needs additional time to analyze information 
pertaining to the respondent's sales practices, factors of production, 
and corporate relationships, to evaluate certain issues raised by the 
petitioners, and to issue and review responses to supplemental 
questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by 60 days until May 1, 2006, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results of review.

    Dated: February 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
