Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico: Extension 
of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE:  September 5, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maryanne Burke or Robert James, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5604 
or (202) 482-0649, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2006, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) published the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2004, 
through June 30, 2005. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
from Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 71 FR 35618 (June 21, 2006). The current deadline for the final 
results of this review is October 19, 2006.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Tariff Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable 
to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the 
final results to 180 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the original time frame due to a number of significant 
case issues, including the calculation of parent company interest 
expenses and general and administrative expenses. Furthermore, 
additional time is necessary for the Department to analyze certain 
adjustments made to U.S. price and to evaluate the commercial 
transactions between Mexinox and affiliated parties. Consequently, and 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of this administrative review until no 
later than December 18, 2006, which is 180 days from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results. This notice is published in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.

    Dated: August 29, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
