Background

    On April 7, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from 
Thailand. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from 
Thailand: Preliminary Results of

[[Page 42550]]

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 18749 (April 7, 2008). 
The current deadline for the final results of this review is August 5, 
2008.

Extension of Time Limit 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 in 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 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 the 
review within the original time frame due to the further analysis 
required in this case. In particular, the Department requested further 
information on Saha Thai's claim for a duty drawback adjustment, and 
the Department must consider Saha Thai's response, which was received 
after the issuance of the preliminary results. Therefore, completion of 
this review is not practicable by the original due date of August 5, 
2008. Consequently, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the final 
results of the review for an additional 60 days. Since the 60-day 
extension would result in the deadline for the final results falling on 
October 4, 2008, which is a Saturday, the new deadline for the final 
results will be the next business day, October 6, 2008. See Notice of 
Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 16, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
