SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 24273]]

Background

    On July 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates from the People's 
Republic of China, covering the period December 16, 2004, through May 
31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 42626 
(July 27, 2006). On February 26, 2007, we extended the deadline to 
complete the preliminary results by 60 days. The preliminary results 
are currently due no later than May 1, 2007.

Statutory Time Limits

    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 
or finding for which a review is requested and a final determination 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination 
is published. However, 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 245-day time limit for the preliminary 
determination to a maximum of 365 days and the time limit for the final 
determination to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination) from the date 
of publication of the preliminary determination.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the extended time limit. Additional time 
is required to analyze complicated issues raised by the parties 
regarding surrogate value selections. Therefore, the Department is 
further extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary 
results by 60 days until no later than June 30, 2007. Because June 30, 
2007, falls on a Saturday, the preliminary results will be due by July 
2, 2007, the next business day. We intend to issue the final results no 
later than 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results 
notice. This extension is in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 25, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
