Background

    On July 11, 2001, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the preliminary results of its administrative review of helical spring 
lock washers (``HSLWs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 
(Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers from the People's Republic of 
China; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
66 FR 36251 (July 11, 2001) (``Preliminary Results''). The final 
results are currently due on November 8, 2001.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
the final results within 120 days of the publication of the preliminary 
results of the review. However, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend this deadline to a maximum of 180 days.

Postponement

    Because additional time is necessary to analyze data used in the 
calculation of normal value, the Department has determined that it is 
not practicable to issue the final results within the original time 
period. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 
we are postponing the final results of this administrative review for 
180 days, until no later than May 7, 2002.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 8, 2001.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
