producers/exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review of an antidumping order within 245 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the 
order. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to 
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we require additional time to 
analyze the respondent's cost of production response and issue 
supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, we have fully extended the 
deadline for completing the preliminary results until July 31, 2007, 
which is 365 days from the last day of the anniversary month of the 
date of publication of the order. The deadline for the final results of 
the review continues to be 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This extension notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

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