Extension of Final Results

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is postponing the 
final results in the antidumping duty administrative review of Certain 
Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings (``SSBWPF'') from Taiwan. The 
deadline for issuing the final results in this administrative review is 
currently November 9, 2001.
    On July 31, 2000, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of this antidumping duty administrative review for the period of June 
1, 2000 through May 31, 2001. See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping 
or Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for 
Revocation in Part 65 FR 46687 (July 31, 2000). On July 12, 2001, the 
Department published the preliminary results of this review (66 FR 
36555). The date for issuing the final results of the review is 
currently November 9, 2001.
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the final results within 120 days from the date 
of publication of the preliminary results, the administering authority 
may extend the period within which to issue its final results by an 
additional 60 days. Completion of the final results within the 120-day 
period is impracticable for the following reasons: (1) This review 
involves certain complex United States indirect selling expense issues 
including, but not limited to, financial statements and interest 
expenses; (2) this review involves certain complex Constructed Export 
Price (``CEP'') adjustments including, but not limited to, CEP profit

[[Page 55640]]

and CEP offset; (3) this review involves certain complex warehouse 
expenses in the United States including, but not limited to, inland 
freight and inventory; (4) there is a concurrent scope analysis 
underway in this same proceeding.
    Because it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
time specified, we are extending the time limit for the final results 
of the administrative review of SSBWPF from Taiwan by 30 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.
    The date for issuing the final results is extended from November 9, 
2001 to December 9, 2001.

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