SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the initiation of the administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain helical spring lock washers 
(``HSLWs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 68535 (November 27, 
2006). This review covers the period October 1, 2005, through September 
30, 2006. The preliminary results of review are currently due no later 
than July 3, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of HSLWs from the PRC 
within this time limit. Specifically, due to the verification of the 
questionnaire responses scheduled in June, we find that additional time 
is needed to complete these preliminary results.

[[Page 31279]]

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the 
preliminary results of this review by 63 days until September 4, 2007. 
The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of 
the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
