Background

    On May 8, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of 
China for the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. See Brake 
Rotors From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Partial Rescission of the 2004/2005 Administrative Review and 
Preliminary Notice of Intent To Rescind the 2004/2005 New Shipper 
Review, 71 FR 26736 (May 8, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). The final 
results of this administrative review are currently due by September 5, 
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 final results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the notice of preliminary results is published 
in the Federal Register. However, if the Department determines that it 
is not practicable to complete the review within the specified time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
this deadline to 180 days.
    The Department has determined that completion of the final results 
within the originally anticipated time limit, September 5, 2006, is 
impracticable. The Department requires additional time to analyze the 
parties' responses to the supplemental questionnaires issued on June 
22, 2006, as well as to address the concerns of the interested parties 
as raised in their June 19, 2006 briefs, June 27, 2006 rebuttal briefs, 
July 17, 2006 comments on bentonite and coal powder usage, and July 24, 
2006, rebuttal comments on this issue. Consequently, it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified under the 
Act. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of these final results by 45 days to October 20, 2006, in 
accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    Additionally, on April 29, 2005, Shanxi Zhongding Auto Parts Co., 
Ltd. agreed to waive the time limits of its new shipper review, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), and to have its review conducted 
concurrently with the 2004/2005 administrative review of this order for 
the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. Therefore, the final 
results of this new shipper review will also be extended by 45 days to 
October 20, 2006.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 10, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
