ACTION: Change in Effective Date of Final Modification

SUMMARY: On December 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published a modification concerning the calculation of the weighted-average dumping margin in antidumping investigations (71 FR 77722). The Department is delaying the effective date of the modification until January 23, 2007.

DATE: The effective date of the final modification, published at 71 FR 77722 on December 27, 2006, will be January 23, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Barnett (202) 482-2866, Michael Rill (202) 482-3058, or William Kovatch (202) 482-5052.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce published a modification concerning the calculation of the weighted-average dumping margin in antidumping duty investigations (71 FR 77722). After further consultations with Congress and in order to afford adequate time for review, the Department is delaying the effective date of the final modification until January 23, 2007. The methodology set forth in the Federal Register notice published at 71 FR 77722 on December 27, 2006, will be used in implementing the findings of the WTO panel in US- Zeroing (EC) pursuant to section 129 of the URAA concerning the specific antidumping investigations challenged by the EC in that dispute. The Department also will apply the final modification in all current and future antidumping investigations as of the effective date.

Dated: January 8, 2007. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
