SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 21, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of tapered roller bearings 
(``TRBs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 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 (``Initiation Notice'').

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. On February 28, 2006, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review 
from March 2, 2006, to May 1, 2006. See Extension of Time Limit for the 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Tapered 
Roller Bearings, and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished from the 
People's Republic of China 71 FR 10010 (February 28, 2006). The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than May 1, 
2006. However, completion of the preliminary results of this review by 
May 1, 2006, is not practicable because the Department needs additional 
time to verify the respondent's constructed export price sales in the 
United States, and its export price sales and factors of production in 
the PRC.
    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 an additional 60 days 
until June 30, 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.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777 (i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: April 24, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
