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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 28, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Moore or David Goldberger, 
AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3692 or (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limits:

    On November 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty 
(``CVD'') order on cut-to-length carbon steel plate (``CTL plate'') 
from Mexico, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 70 
FR 65884 (November 1, 2005). Based on an adequate response from the 
domestic

[[Page 10012]]

interested parties and an inadequate response (in this case no 
response) from respondent interested parties, the Department is 
conducting an expedited sunset review to determine whether revocation 
of the CVD order on CTL plate from Mexico would lead to the 
continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. See section 19 
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C) of the Act.
    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department 
may extend the period of time for making its determination in a sunset 
review by not more than 90 days, if it determines that the review is 
extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of 
the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily 
complicated if it is a review of a transition order. The sunset review 
subject to this notice is a review of a transition order. Therefore, 
the Department has determined, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of 
the Act, that the sunset review of the CVD order on CTL plate from 
Mexico is extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time for 
the Department to complete its analysis. Accordingly, the Department 
will extend the deadline in this proceeding, and, as a result, intends 
to issue the final results of the expedited sunset review of the CVD 
order on CTL plate from Mexico on or about May 30, 2006, 90 days from 
the original scheduled date of the expedited final sunset review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(c)(5)(B) and (C) of the Act.

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