SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and alloy steel wire rod 
from Trinidad and Tobago, covering the period October 1, 2004, to 
September 30, 2005. 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 review are 
currently due no later than July 3, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in 
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested. Consistent with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within a 245-day period.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable. Specifically, we 
need additional time to thoroughly consider the responses to the 
supplemental questionnaires the Department has sent to the respondents.
    Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of review by 120 days to October 31, 2006, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than October 31, 2006. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

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