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

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Smith, AD/CVD Operations, Office

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1766.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 April 26, 2006, the Department partially extended the time limit 
for the preliminary results in this review until August 1, 2006. See 
Stainless Steel Wire Rod from Sweden: Notice of Extension of Time Limit 
for 2004-2005 Administrative Review, 71 FR 25813 (May 2, 2006).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    As a result of recent meetings which took place between the 
interested parties and Department officials on June 19 and 22, 2006, 
the Department requires additional time to consider a model matching 
criteria issue raised by the respondent in this review and seek 
additional comment on the matter. Thus, it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results of this review by August 1, 2006. 
Therefore, the Department is fully extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results to 365 days, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The preliminary results are now due no 
later than October 2, 2006, the next business day after 365 days from 
the last day of the anniversary month of the order. The deadline for 
the final results continues to be 120 days after 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: July 11, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
