Background

    On October 30, 2000, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy, covering the 
period January 4, 1999 through June 30, 2000 (65 FR 64662). On January 
8, 2001, the Department extended the preliminary results of review by 
90 days. See Notice of Extension of the Time Limit for Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils From Italy, 66 FR 1310 (January 8, 2001). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than July 1, 2001.

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 Certain Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy, dated May 9, 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 the preliminary 
results of this review by the scheduled deadline. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
further extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results 
of review by 30 days (i.e., until July 31, 2001).

    Dated: May 9, 2001.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
