Background

    On October 31, 2006, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Sweden, 
covering the period September 1, 2005, through August 31, 2006. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 71 FR 63752 (October 31, 2006). The preliminary results for 
this administrative review are currently due no later than June 4, 
2007.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ June 4, 2007, is the next business day after 245 days from 
the last day of the anniversary month of the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``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. 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.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze the 
sales and cost information submitted by the respondent in this 
administrative review and, if necessary, issue an additional 
supplemental questionnaire. Thus, it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the original time limit. Therefore, the Department 
is partially extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary 
results by 90 days to 335 days, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act. The preliminary results are now due no later than August 
31, 2007. The final results continue to be due 120 days after 
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: May 21, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
