[[Page 2223]]

(the Department) published the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2005 
through June 30, 2006. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
from Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 72 FR 43600 (August 6, 2007). On September 4, 2007, we 
published a notice in the Federal Register partially extending the due 
date of the final results until January 10, 2008. See Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico: Extension of Time Limit for Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 50663 
(September 4, 2007).

Second Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Tariff Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable 
to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the 
final results up to 180 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the original time frame due to additional analysis that 
must be performed with respect to certain adjustments made to the cost 
of production. Furthermore, our post-preliminary results cost 
verification forced an extension of the briefing schedule for parties' 
comments and rebuttals. Consequently, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department 
is further extending the time period for issuing the final results of 
review to 180 days after the publication of the preliminary results. 
Therefore, the final results will be due no later than February 2, 
2008.\1\ This notice is published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Because February 2, 2008 falls on a Saturday, the final 
results will be due no later than Monday February 4, 2008.

    Dated: January 8, 2008.

Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
