SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on carbon

[[Page 21331]]

and certain alloy steel wire rod from Trinidad and Tobago, covering the 
period October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2008. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 70964 
(November 24, 2008). The preliminary results of this review are 
currently due no later than July 3, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in 
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested. Consistent with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within a 245-day period.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable. Specifically, we 
require additional time to thoroughly consider the responses to the 
supplemental questionnaires the Department has sent to the respondent.
    Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of review by 120 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations. Since a 120-day extension would result in the 
deadline for the preliminary results falling on October 31, 2009, which 
is a Saturday, the new deadline for the preliminary results will be the 
next business day, November 2, 2009. 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). Therefore, the preliminary results are now 
due no later than November 2, 2009. The final results continue to be 
due 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 1, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
