SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1, 
2005, through April 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 37892 (July 3, 2006). 
On January 18, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the 
preliminary results of reviews by 45 days. See Ball Bearings and Parts 
Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United 
Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 2261 (January 18, 2007). The 
preliminary results of the reviews are currently due no later than 
March 19, 2007.

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

    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 these reviews within the current time limit because of the 
number of respondents in these reviews and the complexity of the issues 
under analysis such as further-manufacturing operations in the United 
States, the ``collapsing'' of companies, and the use of constructed 
value for reseller respondents. Therefore, we are extending the time 
period for issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by 16 
additional days until April 2, 2007.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 19, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
