Stainless Steel Wire Rod From Sweden: Notice of Extension of Time 
Limit for 2004-2005 Administration Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 2, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Smith, AD/CVD Operations, Office 
2, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1766.

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 October 25, 2005, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Sweden, 
covering the period September 1, 2004, through August 31, 2005. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 70 FR 61601 (October 25, 2005). The preliminary results for 
this administration review are currently due no later than June 2, 
2006.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze the 
sales and cost information submitted by the respondent in this 
administrative review. Moreover, the Department requires additional 
time to analyze complex issues related to product comparisons and level 
of trade, issue additional supplemental questionnaires and fully 
analyze the responses. Thus, it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the original time limit (i.e., June 2, 2006). Therefore, 
the Department is partially extending the time limit for completion of 
the preliminary results by 60 days to not later than August 1, 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 26, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
