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). On March 
23, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the 
preliminary results of reviews by 16 additional 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 13743 (March 23, 2007). 
The preliminary results of the reviews are currently due no later than 
April 2, 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

[[Page 16765]]

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 for which we need to issue additional 
questionnaires. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results of these reviews by 59 additional days until 
May 31, 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 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
