SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled carbon steel flat 
products from India, covering the period December 1, 2005 to November 
30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 5005 
(February 2, 2007). The preliminary results of this review are 
currently due no later than September 2, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    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. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results to up to 365 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reasons. This review covers four companies, and to conduct the sales 
and cost analyses for each company requires the Department to gather 
and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each 
company's sales practices, manufacturing costs and corporate 
relationships. Given the number and complexity of issues in this case, 
and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review 
by 108 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later 
than December 19, 2007. The final results continue to be due 120 days 
after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 23, 2007.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
