SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 6, 2006, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) received 

a timely request from Ege Celik 

Endustrisi Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., a 

producer of subject merchandise, and its 

affiliated export trading company, Ege 

Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively ‘‘Ege 

Celik’’) in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(c), for a new shipper review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) 

from Turkey. On November 7, 2006, the 

Department found that the request for 

review with respect to Ege Celik met all 

of the regulatory requirements set forth 

in 19 CFR 351.214(b) and initiated an 

antidumping duty new shipper review 

covering the period April 1, 2006, 

through September 30, 2006. See Notice 

of Initiation of New Shipper 

Antidumping Duty Review: Certain Steel 

Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey, 

71 FR 66503 (Nov. 15, 2006). The 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than May 6, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 

19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

results of a new shipper review within 

180 days after the date on which the 

new shipper review was initiated and 

the final results of a review within 90 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results were issued. The 

Department may, however, extend the 

time period for completion of the 

preliminary results of a new shipper 

review to 300 days if it determines that 

the case is extraordinarily complicated. 

See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). 

The Department has determined that 

the review is extraordinarily 

complicated because it involves a 

number of issues including certain 

allegations raised by the domestic 

interested parties regarding Ege Celik’s 

affiliation with other producers in the 

Turkish steel industry. Analysis of these 

issues requires additional time. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for the 

completion of the preliminary results of 

the new shipper review of Ege Celik to 

300 days. The preliminary results will 

now be due no later than September 4, 

2007, the first business day after 

September 3, 2007, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(2). The final results will, 

in turn, be due 90 days after the date of 

issuance of the preliminary results, 

unless extended. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act.
