SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbazole violet 
pigment 23 from the People's Republic of China, covering the period 
June 24, 2004, through November 30, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 5241 (February 1, 
2006). The preliminary results for this administrative review are 
currently due no later than September 5, 2006.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ September 5, 2006, is the next business day after 245 days 
from the last day of the anniversary month of the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the 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.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time because of the complexity 
of the valuation issues raised by the questionnaire responses. Thus, it 
is not practicable to complete this review

[[Page 50387]]

within the original time limit (i.e., 245 days). Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results by 60 days to 335 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The preliminary results are now due not later 
than November 1, 2006. The final results continue to be due 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: August 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
