SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 8, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on Heavy Forged Hand Tools, Finished or 
Unfinished, With or Without Handles, from the People's Republic of 
China, covering the period February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005. 
See Heavy Forged Hand Tools, Finished or Unfinished, With or Without 
Handles, From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 
Administrative Reviews and Preliminary Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 11580 (March 8, 2006).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the antidumping duty 
order. The Act further provides that the Department shall issue the 
final results of a review within 120 days after the date on which the 
notice of the

preliminary results was published in the Federal Register. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow the 
Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days and the 120-day 
period to 180 days.
    The Department determines that the completion of the final results 
of this review within the statutory time period is not practicable. The 
Department requires additional time to analyze comments regarding the 
four companies involved in the instant review, each of which exported 
subject merchandise in at least one of the four classes or kinds of 
merchandise covered by this order, along with complex affiliation and 
agent sale issues. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the 
final results of this review by 25 days until July 31, 2006.

    Dated: June 2, 3006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
