Time Limits

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an 
order/finding for which a review is requested and a final determination 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination 
is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 
days, respectively.

Background

    On July 29, 1999, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on tapered 
roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from the 
People's Republic of China, covering the period June 1, 1998 to May 31, 
1999 (64 FR 41075). On June 29, 2000, we issued the preliminary results 
of review (65 FR 41944). In our notice of preliminary results, we 
stated our intention to issue the final results of this review no later 
than November 4, 2000.

Extension of Final Results of Review

    We determine that due to the numerous complex issues raised by 
parties in this review, it is not practicable to complete the final 
results

of this review within the original time limit. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limits for completion of the final 
results until no later than January 3, 2001.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

Dated: September 22, 2000.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration, Group I.
