SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of an interested party, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel bar from Spain for the period March 1, 
2005, through February 28, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 25145 (April 28, 
2006). The preliminary results of this administrative review are 
currently due no later than December 1, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these 
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review by the current deadline of December 1, 2006. We 
require additional time to analyze supplemental questionnaire responses 
with respect to a number of cost issues in this administrative review. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213(h)(2), we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by 75 days, to February 13, 2006.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777 (i)(1) of the Act.

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