SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1, 
2005, through April 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 37892 (July 3, 2006). 
On October 16, 2006, we rescinded in part the administrative reviews of 
the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from 
France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. See Ball Bearings and 
Parts Thereof from France, et al.: Notice of Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 60688 (October 16, 
2006). The preliminary results of the reviews still underway are 
currently due no later than January 31, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these 
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the original time limit because of the 
number of respondents in these reviews, plans to verify certain 
respondents' information, and the complexity of the issues under 
analysis, such as further-manufacturing operations in the United States 
and the ``collapsing'' of companies. Therefore, we are extending the 
time period for issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by 45 
days until March 19, 2007.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: January 11, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
