SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 7, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
steel wire rod from Sweden, covering the period September 1, 2005, 
through August 31, 2006. See Stainless Steel Wire Rod from Sweden: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 
51411 (September 7, 2007). The current deadline for the final results 
in this review is January 5, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results of the 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published in the 
Federal Register. However, if it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to 180 
days from the date of publication of the preliminary results.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results of the administrative review of stainless steel wire rod 
from Sweden within the current time frame because the Department 
requires more time to fully analyze the arguments and comments received 
from the parties participating in this review with respect to the

product comparison criteria currently being used in this case.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the final results of 
this review until March 5, 2008, which is 180 days after the date on 
which notice of the preliminary results was published in the Federal 
Register.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777 (i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 11, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
