SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 8, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel 
flat products (``hot-rolled steel'') from Thailand covering the period 
November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005. See Certain Hot-Rolled 
Carbon Steel Flat Products From Thailand; Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Rescission in Part, 71 FR 
65458 (November 8, 2006). The final results for the antidumping duty 
administrative review of hot-rolled steel from Thailand are currently 
due no later than March 8, 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 within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 
However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within that 
time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit of the final results to 180 days from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.
    Due to the complexity of the affiliation issue present in this 
administrative review, 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 for completion of the final results to 180 days from the 
publication date of the preliminary results, until no later than May 7, 
2007, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 23, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
