SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

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

Background

    On September 6, 2000, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of this antidumping duty administrative review for the 
period of January 4, 1999 through June 30, 2000 (65 FR 53980). On 
November 30, 2000, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this antidumping duty administrative review for the correct period of 
June 8, 1999 through June 30, 2000.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified, the 
administering authority may extend the 120-day period, following the 
date of publication of the preliminary determination, to issue its 
final results by an additional 60 days. Completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable for the following reasons:
     This review involves certain complex issues (i.e., 
identification of home market sales).
     Yieh United Steel Corporation has been instructed to 
revise certain significant portions of its responses during this 
review.
     The review involves a large number of transactions and 
complex adjustments.
     The review involves middleman dumping issues.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final 
determination of review by 60 days until February 4, 2002.

    Dated: October 25, 2001.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
