SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 7, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India covering the 
period February 1, 2005, through January 31, 2006. See Notice of Notice 
of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
Intent to Rescind and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Stainless Steel Bar from India, 72 FR 10151 
(March 7, 2007). The final results for this administrative review are 
currently due no later than July 5, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Final 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 antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the final results 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.
    In accordance with 782(i)(3) of the Act, the Department conducted 
on-site verification of responses submitted by two respondents in this 
review in May and June 2007. Accordingly, the Department must still 
issue the verification findings. Therefore, we find that it is not 
practicable to complete this review within the originally anticipated 
time limit (i.e., by July 5, 2007). Thus, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the final results to no later than 
September 6, 2007, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 19, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
