AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 30, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand covering the 
period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). However, since 
the initiation, the Department has revoked this order effective May 4, 
2006. See Furfuryl Alcohol from Thailand; Final Results of the Second 
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order and Revocation of the 
Order, 72 FR 9729 (March 5, 2006). Therefore, the period of review is 
now July 1, 2005 through May 3, 2006.
    The preliminary results for this review are currently due no later 
than April 2, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review 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 results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review by the current deadline of April 2, 2007. As a 
result of the revocation of the order, the period of review changed. 
This requires the Department to consider a new universe of possible 
transactions for this administrative review. Consequently, we require 
additional time to issue and analyze supplemental questionnaires. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213(h)(2), we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review to July 31, 2007. The deadline for 
the final results of this administrative review continues to be 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 28, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
