SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2005, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published a 

notice of initiation of antidumping duty 

new shipper review on certain carbon 

steel welded pipe and tube from Turkey 

covering the period of review (POR) 

from May 1, 2004, through, April 30, 

2005. See Certain Welded Carbon Steel 

Pipe and Tube from Turkey: Notice of 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 

Shipper Review for the Period May 1, 

2004, through April 30, 2005, 70 FR 

39487 (June 30, 2005). The preliminary 

results are currently due no later than 

December 27, 2005. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, 

requires the Department to issue the 

preliminary results of a new shipper 

review within 180 days of the date it 

was initiated. However, if the 

Department concludes that the case is 

extraordinarily complicated, it may 

extend the 180–day period to 300 days. 

Based on an allegation filed by the 

petitioner, we initiated a sales–belowcost investigation on September 28, 

2005, and received the response to 

section D of the questionnaire on 

November 9, 2005. In order to allow 

sufficient time to analyze the sales and 

cost data and to issue supplemental 

questionnaires, we must extend the time 

limit to complete the preliminary results 

of this review. Given the complexity of 

this case, and in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, we 

are extending the time limit for issuing 

the preliminary results of review until 

April 26, 2006, which is 300 days after 

the date of initiation. The deadline for 

the final results of this review will 

continue to be 90 days after publication 

of the preliminary results. 

This extension is issued and 

published in accordance with section 

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

and 19 CFR 351.214(I)(2). 

Dated: November 28, 2005.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 11, 1986, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published 

in the Federal Register the 

countervailing duty order on certain in–

shell pistachios from Iran. See Final 

Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination and Countervailing Duty 

Order: In–shell Pistachios from Iran, 51 

FR 8344 (March 11, 1986) (In–shell 

Pistachios). On March 1, 2005, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on in–shell 

pistachios from Iran (70 FR 9918). As a 

result of requests properly filed by the 

California Pistachio Commission (CPC) 

and Cal Pure Pistachios, Inc. (Cal Pure) 

on March 31, 2005, we are conducting 

an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on in–shell 

pistachios from Iran with respect to 

Tehran Negah Nima Trading Company, 

Inc. (Nima). On April 22, 2005, we 

published in the Federal Register the 

initiation of this countervailing duty 

administrative review (70 FR 20862). 

The preliminary results are currently 

due no later than December 1, 2005. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results of Review 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue preliminary 

results within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. However, 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

preliminary results of review within this 

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. 

We determine that it would not be 

practicable to complete this review by 

December 1, 2005. There are a large 

number of programs, including new 

subsidy programs, to be considered and 

analyzed by the Department by that 

deadline. As a result, the Department is 

extending the time limits for completion 

of the preliminary results until no later 

than February 14, 2006, which is 320 

days from the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. The deadline for the final results 

of review continues to be 120 days after 

the publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

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

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: November 28, 2005.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
