SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 23, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published its preliminary results of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products 
from Romania. See Cetain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from 
Romania: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 71 FR 62082 (October 23, 2006). The period of review is 
November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005. The final results of review 
are currently due no later than February 20, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), provides at section 
751(a)(3)(A) that the Department will issue the final results of an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. 
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act provides further that, if the 
Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the review 
within this time period, the Department may extend the 120-day period 
to 180 days.
    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results by the current deadline of February 
20, 2007, because it has extended the briefing schedule for interested 
parties and needs additional time to consider the issues raised in case 
and rebuttal briefs.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time limit for 
the preliminary results by 45 days to April 6, 2007.
    We are issuing this notice in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act.

    Dated: February 16, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
