SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 10, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC''). See Pure Magnesium from the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
71 FR 18067 (April 10, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). In the 
Preliminary Results, we stated that we would issue our final results of 
review no later than 120 days after the date of publication of the 
preliminary results (i.e., August 8, 2006). On July 31, 2006, the 
Department publishes in the Federal Register a notice extending the 
time limit for the final results or the administrative review from 
August 8, 2006, to September 7, 2006. See Notice of Extension of Final 
Result of the 2004-2005 Administrative Review of Pure Magnesium from 
the People's Republic of China, 71 FR 43110 (July 31, 2006). The final 
results of review are currently due no later than September 7, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review within 120 days of publication date of the 
preliminary results. However, if it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, the Department may extend the time 
limit for the final results to 180 days. Completion of the final 
results within the 120-day period is not practicable because this 
review involves certain complex issues, such as valuation of various 
factors of production that both the Petitioner and the respondent 
addressed in their case briefs.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing these final results 
of review by an additional 22 days to 172 days, i.e., until September 
29, 2006.

    Dated: September 5, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
