Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of 2006-2007 Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 10, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scot T. Fullerton or Susan 
Pulongbarit, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

(202) 482-1386 or (202) 482-4031, respectively.

Background

    On March 7, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results and partial 
rescission of this antidumping duty administrative review. Silicon 
Metal From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Preliminary Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 73 FR 12378 (March 7, 2008). The period of review for this 
administrative review is June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The Act 
further provides that the Department shall issue the final results of 
review within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the 
preliminary results was published in the Federal Register. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow the 
Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days and the 120-day 
period to 180 days.
    In the instant review, the Department finds that the current 
deadline for the final results of July 7, 2008, is not practicable. The 
Department requires additional time to review and analyze interested 
party comments related to alleged transshipment of Chinese-origin 
silicon metal through Canada. As a result, the Department has 
determined to extend the current time limits of this administrative 
review. For these reasons, the Department is extending by 30 days the 
time limit for the completion of these final results until no later 
than August 4, 2008.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

     Dated: July 2, 2008.
Gary S. Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. Error!
