Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey: Notice of 
Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limits of the 
final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain 
steel concrete reinforcing bars from Turkey. The review covers four 
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States. 
The period of review is April 1, 1999, through March 31, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 21, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irina Itkin at (202) 482-0656, Office 
of AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.

Postponement of Final Results of Administrative Review

    The Department issued the preliminary results of the 1999-2000 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel 
concrete reinforcing bars from Turkey on May 4, 2001 (66 FR 22525 (May 
4, 2001)). The current deadline for the final results in this review is 
September 4, 2001. In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 
Department finds that the final results cannot be issued within the 
original time frame due to the large number of sales and cost issues 
raised by the parties in their case briefs.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this administrative 
review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time limits for 
completion of the final results of the administrative review until 
October 31, 2001.

    Dated: August 15, 2001.
Susan Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
