SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 7, 2007, the Department published the preliminary 
results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada. See Notice of 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Carbon 
and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod From Canada, 72 FR 62816 (November 7, 
2007) (Preliminary Results). This review covers Ivaco Rolling Mills 
2004 L.P. and Sivaco Ontario (a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 
L.P.) (collectively referred to as ``Ivaco''), for the period October 
1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. On November 29, 2007, we sent a 
supplemental questionnaire to Ivaco pertaining to the level of trade 
issue. Ivaco submitted its response on December 13, 2007. Petitioners 
(Mittal Steel USA Inc.--Georgetown, Gerdau USA Inc., Nucor Steel 
Connecticut Inc., Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., and Rocky 
Mountain Steel Mills) provided comment on Ivaco's response on December 
21, 2007. Ivaco responded to petitioners' comments on December 31, 
2007. The Department extended the deadlines for case filing briefs and 
rebuttal briefs because of its request for new information after 
issuing its preliminary results. Ivaco and petitioners submitted their 
case briefs on January 23, 2008. Ivaco and petitioners submitted their 
rebuttal briefs on January 30, 2008. The final results are currently 
due not later than March 6, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable 
to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final 
results up to 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary 
results.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within current statutory limits. The Department 
requires additional time to evaluate the information submitted by 
parties after the preliminary results were published. Therefore, we are 
extending the deadline for the final results of this review by 60 days, 
until no later than May 5, 2008, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 21, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
