SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated the second
sunset review of canned pineapple fruit
(‘‘CPF’’) from Thailand on April 3, 2006.
See Initiation of Five–year ‘‘Sunset’’
Reviews, 71 FR 16551 (April 3, 2006).
On April 17, 2006, we received
notification of intent to participate from
the domestic interested party, Maui
Pineapple Co., Ltd., (‘‘Maui’’) in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3).
On May 3, 2006, Maui and the
respondent interested parties filed
substantive comments with the
Department.1
On May 22, 2006, the Department
issued a preliminary adequacy
determination stating that the
respondents in the ongoing sunset
review did not meet the adequacy
requirements. See Memorandum from
Zev Primor to Tom Futtner, ‘‘Adequacy
Determination in Antidumping Duty
Sunset Review of Canned Pineapple
from Thailand’’ (May 22, 2006). On May
30, 2006, and June 8, 2006, we received
timely comments pertaining to our
adequacy calculation methodology from
the respondent interested parties and
Maui, respectively. Upon review of the
parties’ comments, we modified our
calculation methodology and
determined that the respondent
interested parties meet the adequacy
requirements. See Memorandum from
Zev Primor to Tom Futtner, ‘‘Correction
to the Adequacy Calculation in the
Antidumping Duty Sunset Review of
Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand’’
(July 12, 2006). Consequently, the
Department determined to conduct a
full sunset review of the antidumping
duty order on CPF from Thailand as
provided at section 751(c)(5)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and at 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2)(i)
because: (1) the parties’ substantive
responses met the requirements of 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3), and (2) both the
information on the record and our
review of the proprietary Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data
indicated that the respondent interested
parties account for more than 50 percent
1 The respondent interested parties are: Pineapple
Processors Group; the Thai Food Processors
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Association; Thai Pineapple Canning Industry Corp.
Ltd.; Malee Sampran Public Co., Ltd.; The Siam
Agro Industry Pineapples and Others Public Co.,
Ltd.; Great Oriental Food Products Co. Ltd.; Thai
Pineapple Products and Other Fruits Co., Ltd.; The
Tipco Foods (Thailand) PCL; Pranburi Hotei Co.,
Ltd.; and Siam Fruit Canning (1988) Co., Ltd.

of the exports to the United States, the
level that the Department normally
considers to be an adequate response to
the notice of initiation by respondent
interested parties under 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A). Id.
Extension of Time Limits
With respect to the preliminary
results of a sunset review, the
Department’s regulations, at 19 CFR
351.218(f)(1), provide that the
Department normally will issue its
preliminary results in a full sunset
review not later than 110 days after the
date of publication of initiation in the
Federal Register. However, in
accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(3)(ii), the
Department may extend the period of
time for making its final determination
by not more than 90 days, if it
determines that the review is
extraordinarily complicated. Because
some of the issues are complex, the
Department has determined, pursuant to
section 751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act, that
the sunset review is extraordinarily
complicated and will require additional
time for the Department to complete its
analysis. Due to the complex nature of
the CPB and shipment data, revocation
of a number of companies during the
period of review, and the change from
the expedited to a full sunset review,
the Department will require additional
time to conduct the analysis necessary
for the preliminary results.
The Department’s preliminary results
of the full sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on CPF from
Thailand are currently scheduled for
July 22, 2006, and the final results are
currently scheduled for November 29,
2006. As a result of our decision to
extend the deadline for the preliminary
results of review, the Department
intends to issue the preliminary results
of the full sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on CPF from
Thailand no later than October 20, 2006,
and the final results of the review no
later than February 27, 2007. These
dates are 90 days from the originally
scheduled dates of the preliminary and
final results of this sunset review.
This notice is issued in accordance
with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and (C)(ii) of
the Act.

Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import
Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 3, 2005, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published an opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on carbon and
certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada
for the period October 1, 2004, to
September 30, 2005. See Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Filing, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request an Administrative Review, 70
FR 57558 (October 3, 2005). On May 25,
2006, the Department published in the
Federal Register a notice extending the
time limit for the preliminary results of
the administrative review from July 3,
2006, to August 2, 2006. See Carbon and
Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from
Canada: Extension of Time Limit for
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR
30116 May 25, 2006). The preliminary
results of this administrative review are
currently due August 2, 2006.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
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. 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 period to
a maximum of 365 days.
We determine that completion of the
preliminary results of this review by
August 2, 2006, is not practicable
25JYN1
 42084 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 142 / Tuesday, July 25, 2006 / Notices
because the Department needs
additional time to consider all
comments filed by the petitioner and to
fully analyze the respondent’s responses
on the record of this review. To
accomplish this, and in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results by an additional
90 days until October 31, 2006.
Therefore, the preliminary results are
now due no later than October 31, 2006.
The final results continue to be due 120
days after publication of the preliminary
results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
