SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 (``CVP-23'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 72 FR 5005 (February 2, 2007). This period of review (``POR'') 
covers the period December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006. The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than September 
2, 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 up 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 CVP-23 from the PRC 
within this time limit because we need additional time in order to 
determine the appropriate surrogate values with which to value factors 
of production. 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 100 days until December 11, 
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: August 17, 2007.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
