SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 3, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published an opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from 
Canada for the period October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Filing, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity to Request an Administrative Review, 70 FR 
57558 (October 3, 2005). On October 31, 2005, respondent Ivaco Rolling 
Mills L.P. (now known as Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P.) (``IRM''), a 
producer and exporter of subject merchandise, and respondent Sivaco 
Ontario Processing (aka Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 
2004 L.P.), a processor and exporter of the subject merchandise, 
requested a review. No other interested parties requested a review. On 
December 1, 2005, the Department published its notice of initiation of 
an antidumping administrative review on carbon and certain alloy steel 
wire rod from Canada. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 70 
FR 72107 (December 1, 2005). The preliminary results of this 
administrative review are currently due July 3, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue preliminary results 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of 
publication of the order for which a review is requested and the final 
results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the specified time periods, 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.
    Completion of the preliminary results within the originally 
anticipated time limit, July 3, 2006, is impracticable because this 
review requires the Department to analyze complex issues regarding 
IRM's and Sivaco Ontario's corporate structures and their affiliations 
and corporate relationships. Because it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time specified under the Act, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time 
limit for completion of the preliminary results by 30 days to August 2, 
2006. The deadline for the final results of this administrative review 
continues to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 19, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
