SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 2, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings from Taiwan for the period of review (``POR'') of June 1, 
2005, through May 31, 2006. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 
Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation, Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review; 71 FR 32032 (June 2, 2006). On June 22, 2006, 
Flowline Division of Markovitz Enterprises, Inc. (``Flowline 
Division''), Gerlin, Inc., Shaw Alloy Piping Products, Inc., and Taylor 
Forge Stainless, Inc. (collectively, ``petitioners'') requested an 
antidumping duty administrative review for Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., 
Ltd. (``Ta Chen''), Liang Feng Stainless Steel Fitting Co., Ltd., Tru-
Flow Industrial Co., Ltd., Censor International Corporation, and PFP 
Taiwan Co., Ltd. On June 29, 2006, Ta Chen requested an administrative 
review of its sales to the United States during the POR. On July 27, 
2006, the Department published the notice initiating this 
administrative review. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation In Part, 71 FR 
42626 (July 27, 2006). The preliminary results are currently due not 
later than March 2, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(h)(2), the Department 
may extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a 
review by 120 days if it determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results within 245 days after the last day of 
the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order for which 
the administrative review was requested. Due to the complexity of the 
issues involved and the time required to analyze Ta Chen's supplemental 
questionnaire responses, as well as the demands of other proceedings 
handled by the office administering this review, the Department has 
determined that it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the original time period. Accordingly, the Department is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results by 120 days, to not later than 
July 2, 2007, in accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The 
deadline for the final results of this review will continue to be 120 
days after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: February 13, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
