Large Newspaper Printing Presses, and Components Thereof, from 
Germany and Japan; Notice of Extension of Time Limits for Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limits of the 
preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative reviews on 
large newspaper printing presses, and components thereof, from Germany 
and Japan. Each review covers one producer/exporter of the subject 
merchandise to the United States. The period of review is September 1, 
1999, through August 31, 2000. This period also covers certain sales 
deferred from prior review periods.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 22, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katherine Johnson at (202) 482-4929 
for Germany, or Christopher Priddy at (202) 482-1130, for Japan, Office 
of AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because it is not practicable to complete 
these administrative reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act), as amended by the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results. Each of these reviews involves 
complicated issues related to cost of production. In addition, we are 
required to verify the information submitted in the Japanese review in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.307(iii) and (v). Because we need additional 
time to analyze the respondents' data, as well as to conduct 
verification, we have extended the deadline for the completion of the 
preliminary results until October 1, 2001.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 13, 2001.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
