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

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 11, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew McAllister, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``Department'') to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review 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 results are published. If it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.

Background

    On September 28, 2005, the Department published a notice of

[[Page 18279]]

initiation of administrative reviews of the countervailing duty orders 
on pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from Canada, covering the period 
January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005). The 
preliminary results for the countervailing duty administrative reviews 
of pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from Canada are currently due no 
later than May 3, 2006.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze Norsk 
Hydro Canada Inc.'s (``NHCI'') request for revocation of the orders in 
part. Moreover, the Department requires additional time for the 
possibility of verification in these reviews, and it is thus not 
practicable to complete these reviews within the original time limit 
(i.e., May 3, 2006). Therefore, the Department is extending the time 
limit for completion of these preliminary results to not later than 
July 12, 2006, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 5, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
