SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 12, 2004, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon 
and certain alloy steel wire rod from Mexico, covering the period from 
October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004 (69 FR 64722). On November 7, 
2005, we published in the Federal Register our preliminary results. See 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Carbon 
and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Mexico, 70 FR 67422. The final results of 
this review are currently due no later than March 7, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. 
However, if it is not practicable to complete the final results of 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend that 120- day period to 180 days.
    We determine that completion of the final results of this review 
within the 120-day period is not practicable for the following reasons. 
This review covers two companies, and to complete our sales and cost 
analyses for each requires the Department to analyze a significant 
amount of information pertaining to each company's sales practices and 
manufacturing costs. Given the complexity of issues in this case, and 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are fully 
extending the time period for issuing the final results of review until 
May 8, 2006, which is the next business day after 180 days from 
publication of the preliminary results of review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 23, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
