Static Random Access Memory Semiconductors From Taiwan: Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit 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 limit of the 
final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on static 
random access memory semiconductors (SRAMs) from Taiwan. 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 24, 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.

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions effective 
January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise 
indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR 
part 351 (2000).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
its final results within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the final results within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 120 day 
time limit to 180 days.
    The Department issued the preliminary results of the 1999-2000 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on SRAMs from 
Taiwan on May 4, 2001 (66 FR 22520). Due to the number of complex sales 
and cost issues raised by the parties in their case briefs (e.g., the 
appropriate methodology for making sales and cost comparisons, the 
calculation of yield/loss ratios, etc.), we determine that it is not 
practicable to complete the final results of this review within the 
original time period. Therefore, the Department is extending the time 
limit for issuing the final results to no later than October 31, 2001.

    Dated: August 17, 2001.
Susan Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
