Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute refer to 
the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the 
amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act) 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, all citations to the 
Department's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 
CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

    Based on a request from Bhansali, and pursuant to section 351.214, 
the Department initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping duty 
order on certain stainless steel flanges from India, covering the 
period February 1, 1999 through February 29, 2000 (65 FR 8120, February 
17, 2000). The final results are currently due no later than December 
14, 2000. The deadline for the final results may be extended from 90 to 
150 days after the issuance of the preliminary results, according to 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act and 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations.

Postponement of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the issues of this case are 
extraordinarily complicated and it is not practicable to issue the 
final results of the new shipper review within the original time limit. 
See Memorandum from Richard A. Weible to Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III, November 22, 2000. 
Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion 
of the final results of this review until February 12, 2001, the first 
business day following the sixtieth day from the issuance of the 
preliminary results.

    Dated: November 22, 2000.
Edward Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
