Background

    On July 31, 2000, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Stainless 
Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan, covering the period June 1, 
1999 through May 31, 2000 (65 FR 46687). The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than May 31, 2001. On January 9, 2001, the 
Department extended the preliminary results due date by 90 days (66 FR 
1644).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Because of the complex issues enumerated in the Memorandum from 
Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for the 
Preliminary Results of Administrative Review of Stainless Steel Butt-
Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan, dated March 6, 2001 and on file in the 
Central Records Unit (CRU) of the Main Commerce Building, Room B-099, 
we find that it is not practicable to complete this review by the 
scheduled deadline. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of review by 30 days (i.e., until July 2, 2001).

    Dated: March 6, 2001.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
