SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 13, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a reconsideration of the sunset review of the antidumping 
duty order on large newspaper printing presses and components thereof, 
whether assembled or unassembled (LNPP), from Japan. See Large 
Newspaper Printing Presses and Components Thereof, Whether Assembled or 
Unassembled, From Japan: Reconsideration of Sunset Review, 71 FR 19164 
(April 13, 2006). On May 15, 2006, the Department received substantive 
responses from Goss International Corp., a domestic interested party, 
and from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho, 
Ltd., foreign producers and exporters of the subject merchandise, 
during the review period of September 4, 1996, through September 3, 
2001. In the adequacy determination memorandum dated June 8, 2006, the 
Department stated that it would conduct a full review for this 
reconsideration of the sunset review, as provided for in section 
751(c)(5)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.218 (e)(2)(i).

Extension of Time Limits

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department 
may extend the period of time for making its determination by not more 
than 90 days, if it determines that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated. The Department has determined, pursuant to section 
751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act, that the reconsideration of the sunset 
review of the antidumping duty order on LNPP from Japan is 
extraordinarily complicated due to the complex issues raised by parties 
to this proceeding. Therefore, the Department requires additional time 
to complete its analysis. The Department's preliminary results of the 
sunset review reconsideration of the antidumping duty order on LNPP are 
scheduled for August 1, 2006. However, the Department will extend the 
deadline in this proceeding for the above-stated reason. As a result, 
the Department intends to issue the preliminary results of the full 
sunset review reconsideration by October 30, 2006, and the final 
results of that review by March 9, 2007. These dates are 90 days from 
the original scheduled dates of the preliminary and final results of 
the sunset review reconsideration. This notice is issued in accordance 
with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and (C) of the Act.

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