SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') received a timely 
request from Longkou Qizheng Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (``Qizheng''), in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c), to conduct a semiannual new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC''). See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: 
Brake Rotors from the People's Republic of China, 62 FR 18740 (April 
17, 1997). On November 30, 2006, the Department found that the request 
for review with respect to Qizheng met all of the regulatory 
requirements set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(b) and initiated a semiannual 
new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors for 
the April 1, 2006, through September 30, 2006, period. See Brake Rotors 
from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of New Shipper Review, 
71 FR 69203 (November 30, 2006). On March 8, 2007, the Department 
expanded the period of review (``POR'') of this semiannual new shipper 
review through October 30, 2006, to capture the entry corresponding to 
Qizheng's first sale to the United States. See Memorandum to Wendy J. 
Frankel, Office Director, through Blanche Ziv, Program Manager, from 
Jennifer Moats, Analyst, Regarding Expansion of the Period of Review. 
Therefore, the POR for the semiannual new shipper review of Qizheng is 
April 1, 2006, through October 30, 2006. The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than May 21, 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 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 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) and 751 
(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated, as the Department must gather additional information, 
issue additional supplemental questionnaires, and conduct verification 
of the responses. Based on the timing of the case and the additional 
information that must be gathered and verified, the preliminary results 
of this new shipper review cannot be completed within the statutory 
time limit of 180 days. Accordingly, the Department is extending the 
time limit for the completion of the preliminary results of the new 
shipper review of Qizheng to 300 days. See 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The preliminary results will now be due no 
later than September 18, 2007, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The final results 
will be due 90 days after the date of issuance of the preliminary 
results, unless extended.
    We are issuing this notice in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 7, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
