SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 3, 2006, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’). See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 71 

FR 37890 (July 3, 2006). We received 

timely requests for review from Amgal 

Chemical Products (1989) Ltd. 

(‘‘Amgal’’), Shanghai Fortune Chemical 

Company, Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Fortune’’), 

and Suzhou Fine Chemical Co. Group 

Ltd. (‘‘Suzhou’’). 

On August 30, 2006, the Department 

published a notice of the initiation of 

the administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC for the period July 1, 2005, 

through June 30, 2006. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 51573 

(August 30, 2006). On October 16, 2006, 

Suzhou withdrew its request for an 

administrative review. On November 14, 

2006, Amgal withdrew its request for an 

administrative review. On December 26, 

2006, we rescinded the administrative 

review with respect to Suzhou and 

Amgal. See Saccharin from the People’s 

Republic of China: Notice of Partial 

Rescission of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 71 FR 77382 

(December 26, 2006). The preliminary 

results of review are currently due no 

later than April 2, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results of Review 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 

the Department shall make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. The Act further provides, 

however, that the Department may 

extend that 245-day period to 365 days 

if it determines it is not practicable to 

complete the review within the 

foregoing time period. 

The Department finds that it is not 

practicable to complete the preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

saccharin from the PRC within this time 

limit due to the complexity of certain 

issues and the need to issue 

supplemental questionnaires requesting 

additional information from Shanghai 

Fortune. Specifically, the Department 

needs additional time to research and 

analyze the request for by–product 

offsets and the valuation of those by–

products for which an offset was 

requested. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 

Department is extending the time period 

for completion of the preliminary 

results of this review by 30 days until 

May 2, 2007. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: March 19, 2007. 

Stephen J. Claeys, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 

the Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty New Shipper 

Review

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 9, 1994, the Department 

published the antidumping duty order 

on stainless steel flanges from India. See 

Amended Final Determination and 

Antidumping Duty Order; Certain 

Forged Stainless Steel Flanges from 

India, 59 FR 5994 (February 9, 1994). 

On August 31, 2006, we received 

requests for new shipper reviews for the 

period February 1, 2006, through 

January 31, 2007 from Micro Forge 

(India) and Pradeep Metals Limited. On 

October 6, 2006, the Department 

published a notice initiating the 

requested reviews. See Stainless Steel 

Flanges from India: Notice of Initiation 

of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 

Reviews, 71 FR 59081, (October 6, 

2006). The preliminary results of the 

new shipper review are currently due 

no later than March 28, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (the Act), 

the Department shall issue preliminary 

results in a new shipper review of an 

antidumping duty order within 180 

days after the date on which the new 

shipper review was initiated. The Act 

further provides, however, that the 

Department may extend the deadline for 

completion of the preliminary results of 

a new shipper review from 180 days to 

300 days if it determines that the case 

is extraordinarily complicated. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. We 

determine that this new shipper review 

is extraordinarily complicated because, 

among other things, we need additional 

time to determine whether Micro 

Forge’s and Pradeep’s sales to the 

United States were bona fide 

transactions. In addition, we require 

additional time to gather further 

information and verify Micro Forge’s 

responses to our request for constructed 

value information. 

Section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 

section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department’s 

regulations allow the Department to 

extend the deadline for the preliminary 

results to a maximum of 300 days from 

the date on which the new shipper 

review was initiated. For the reasons 

noted above, we are extending the time 

for the completion of the preliminary 

results until no later than July 26, 2007, 

which is 300 days from the date on 

which the new shipper review was 

initiated. The deadline for the final 

results of this new shipper review 

continues to be 90 days after the
