FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Hargett, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade

Constitution Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4161.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 30, 2004, the Department initiated an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel pipe and 
tube from Turkey. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 39409. 
On November 1, 2004, the Department fully extended the preliminary 
results of the aforementioned review by 120 days. See Certain Welded 
Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube From Turkey: Extension of Time Limit for 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 
63366. On June 7, 2005, the Department published the preliminary 
results of its review. See Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review: Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube 
from Turkey, 70 FR 33084. The final results are currently due no later 
than October 5, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') to 
issue (1) the preliminary results of a review within 245 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month of an order or finding for which a 
review is requested, and (2) the final results within 120 days after 
the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it 
is not practicable to complete the review within that time period, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 
time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days and the 
final results to a maximum of 180 days (or 300 days if the Department 
does not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the 
date of the publication of the preliminary results. See also 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2).
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit because the 
Department needs additional time to fully consider parties' arguments 
regarding the proposed modifications to the computation of duty 
drawback.
    Therefore, we are extending the deadline for the final results of 
the above-referenced review by 60 days, until December 4, 2005. 
However, December 4, 2005, falls on Sunday, and it is the Department's 
long-standing practice to issue a determination the next business day 
when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any 
other day when the Department is closed. 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). Accordingly, the deadline for completion of 
the final results is December 5, 2005.

    Dated: September 15, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
