Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review: Stainless Steel Flanges from India

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 3, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Baker 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-
2924 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 9, 1994, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on stainless steel flanges from India. See Amended Final 
Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; Certain Forged Stainless 
Steel Flanges from India, 59 FR 5994 (February 9, 1994). On February 
28, 2006, we received requests for new shipper reviews for the period 
February 1, 2005, through January 31, 2006, from Kunj Forgings Pvt. 
Ltd. (Kunj), Micro Forge (India) Ltd. (Micro), Pradeep Metals Ltd. 
(Pradeep), and Rollwell Forge, Ltd. (Rollwell). On April 6, 2006, the 
Department published a notice initiating the requested reviews. See 
Stainless Steel Flanges from India: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping 
Duty New Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 17439, (April 6, 2006). The preliminary 
results of the new shipper review with respect to Kunj are currently 
due no later than September 27, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as 
amended (the Act), the Department shall issue preliminary results in a 
new shipper review of an antidumping duty order within 180 days after 
the date on which the new shipper review was initiated. The Act further 
provides, however, that the Department may extend the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary results of a new shipper review from 180 
days to 300 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. We determine that 
this new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated because Kunj 
produces several model types of flanges the Department has not analyzed 
in previous segments of this administrative proceeding.
    Section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the deadline 
for the preliminary results to a maximum of 300 days from the date on 
which the new shipper review was initiated. For the reasons noted 
above, we are extending the time for the completion of the preliminary 
results until no later than January 25, 2007, which is 300 days from 
the date on which the new shipper review was initiated. The deadline 
for the final results of this new shipper review continues to be 90 
days after the publication of the preliminary results, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 27, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration
