SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of EuroChem, a Russian producer and exporter of 
solid urea from the Russian Federation, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on solid urea from Russia for the period July 1, 2006, through 
June 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 
(August 20, 2007). The preliminary results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than April 1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the month in which the anniversary of the date of 
publication of the order occurs. The Act provides further that, if it 
is not practicable to complete the review within the 245 days, the 
Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results by the current deadline of April 1, 2008. Specifically, we are 
conducting a concurrent new-shipper review which covers the same entry 
as is covered by this administrative review and it is not practicable 
to complete the preliminary results of this review prior to the 
conclusion of the new-shipper review.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by 120 days to July 30, 2008. The 
final results of this review continue to be due 120 days after the date 
of issuance of the preliminary results of the administrative review.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 
751(751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 26, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
