Background

    On May 8, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of 
China for the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. See Brake 
Rotors from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Partial Rescission of the 2004/2005 Administrative Review and 
Preliminary Notice of Intent to Rescind the 2004/2005 New Shipper 
Review, 71 FR 26736 (May 8, 2006). On August 16, 2006, the Department 
published a notice of extension of time limit for the final results of 
this administrative review extending the time limit for the final 
results by 45 days until October 20, 2006. See Brake Rotors from the 
People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative and New Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 47169 
(August 16, 2006). The final results of this administrative review are 
currently due October 20, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue final results in an 
administrative review of

[[Page 62417]]

antidumping duty order within 120 days after the date on which the 
notice of preliminary results is published in the Federal Register. 
However, if the Department determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the specified time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend this deadline 
to 180 days.
    Completion of the final results within the originally anticipated 
time limit, October 20, 2006, is impracticable because the Department 
requires additional time to address the comments of the interested 
parties as raised in their June 19, 2006, briefs, June 27, 2006, 
rebuttal briefs, July 17, 2006, comments on bentonite and coal powder 
usage, and July 24, 2006, rebuttal comments on this issue. Because it 
is not practicable to complete the review within the time specified 
under the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results by 15 days to November 4, 2006, in 
accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. However, because 
November 4, 2006, falls on a Saturday, the signature day will roll over 
to the next business day, November 6, 2006, in accordance with our 
practice. See Notice of Clarification: Application of Next Business Day 
Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff 
Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    Additionally, on April 29, 2005, Shanxi Zhongding Auto Parts Co. 
Ltd. agreed to waive the time limits of its new shipper review, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), and to have its review conducted 
concurrently with the 2004/2005 administrative review of this order for 
the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. Therefore, the final 
results of this new shipper review will also be extended by 15 days to 
November 6, 2006.

    Dated: October 18, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration
