SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 25, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register 
its preliminary results of the second administrative review on non-
malleable cast iron pipe fittings from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). See Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 30116 (May 25, 2006) (``Preliminary 
Results''). The final results of this administrative review are 
currently due no later than September 22, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit of Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
of the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if 
it is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 
extend the 120-day period to a maximum of 180 days. Completion of the 
final results of this review within the 120-day period is not 
practicable because the Department needs additional time to evaluate 
substantially intricate issues raised by the petitioners and 
respondents in their respective case briefs and rebuttals.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of review by 30 days until October 22, 2006, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Further, because October 22, 2006, falls on a Sunday, the final results 
will be due on October 23, 2006, the next business day. This notice is 
published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.

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