SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published an 
antidumping duty order on certain steel concrete reinforcing bars 
(rebar) from Turkey on April 17, 1997. (See Antidumpting Duty Order: 
Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars From Turkey, 62 FR 18748). On 
May 27, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the order on rebar from Turkey for the period 
April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. See 70 FR 30694. This review 
covers the following 15 producers/exporters: Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. 
and Colakoglu Dis Ticaret; Diler Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret 
A.S., Yazici Demir Celik Sanayi ve Turizm Ticaret A.S., and Diler Dis 
Ticaret A.S.; Ege Metal Demir Celik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.; Ekinciler 
Demir ve Celik Sanayi A.S. and Ekinciler Dis Ticaret A.S.; Habas Sinai 
ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S.; Ilhanlar Rolling and Textile 
Industries, Ltd., Sti. and Ilhanlar Group; Intermet A.S.; Iskenderun 
Iron & Steel Works Co.; Koc Dis Ticaret A.S.; Kroman Celik Sanayi A.S.; 
Nurmet Celik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.; Nursan Celik Sanayi ve Haddecilik 
A.S.; Sozer Steel Works; Ucel Haddecilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.; and 
the Yolbulan Group (Yolbulanlar Nak. ve Ticaret A.S., Yolbulan Metal 
Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Yolbulan Dis Ticaret Ltd. Sti.). On May 5, 
2006, the Department published the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on rebar from 
Turkey. See Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey; 
Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 26455 (May 5, 2006). The final results are 
currently due no later than September 5, 2006, the next business day 
after 120 days from publication of the preliminary results.

Extension of the Time Limit for Final Results of Administrative Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) requires the Department to make a final determination in an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does 
not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the original time frame because analysis of 
the issues presented in the case briefs, including issues related to 
the treatment of one company which did not respond to the Department's 
questionnaire, requires additional time. Because it is not practicable 
to complete this administrative review within the time limit mandated 
by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 
Department is fully extending the time limit for completion of the 
final results of this administrative review to 180 days, until November 
1, 2006.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: July 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
