SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 6, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
wire rod from Sweden, covering the period September 1, 2004, through 
August 31, 2005. See Stainless Steel Wire Rod from Sweden: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 59082 (October 
6, 2006). The current deadline for the final results in this review is 
February 3, 2007.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Since February 3, 2007, is a Saturday, the final results are 
due on the next business day, February 5, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results of the 
review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results is published in the Federal Register. 
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 time limit for the final results to 180 days from the date 
of publication of the preliminary results.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results of the administrative review of stainless steel wire rod 
from the Sweden within the current time frame due to the fact that the 
Department requires more time to fully analyze the arguments and 
comments received from the parties participating in this review with 
respect to the model matching criteria currently being used in this 
case.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the final results of 
this review until April 4, 2007, which is 180 days after the date on 
which notice of the preliminary results was published in the Federal 
Register.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777 (i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 11, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
