    On February 9, 1994, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on stainless steel flanges from India. See Amended Final 
Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; Certain Forged Stainless 
Steel Flanges from India, 59 FR 5994 (February 9, 1994). On February 2,

Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 5007 
(February 2, 2007). On February 28, 2007, we received requests for an 
administrative review for the period February 1, 2006, through January 
31, 2007, from Nakshatra and Shree Ganesh.\1\ On March 28, 2007, we 
initiated the administrative reviews. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 14516 (March 28, 
2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We also received requests for administrative reviews from 
Echjay Forgings Pvt., Ltd., and Hilton Metal Forging, Ltd. However, 
both of these companies subsequently withdrew their requests for 
review in a timely manner. Therefore, we rescinded the 
administrative review with respect to these companies. See Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Forged 
Stainless Steel Flanges from India, 72 FR 41292 (July 27, 2007).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), at section 
751(a)(3)(A), provides that the Department will issue the preliminary 
results of 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 provides further that if the 
Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the review 
within this time period, the Department may extend the 245-day period 
to 365 days.
    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results by the current 245-day deadline of 
October 31, 2007. Based on our analysis of Nakshatra's comparison 
market sales listing, we have determined that we need to obtain data on 
Nakshatra's downstream sales in the comparison market. The Department 
requires additional time to request these data, analyze the response, 
and complete the antidumping calculation. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 
Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results by 
120 days to February 28, 2008.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 26, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
