Information

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to make a 
preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order/finding for which a review is requested 
and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days and for the 
final determination to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination) from the date 
of publication of the preliminary determination.

Background

    On September 6, 2000, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
Silicon Metal from Brazil covering the period July 1, 1999 through June 
30, 2000 (65 FR 53980). On August 6, 2001 (66 FR 40980), we published 
the preliminary results of review. In our notice of preliminary 
results, we stated our intention to issue the final results of this 
review no later than 120 days after the date of publication of the 
preliminary results, December 4, 2001.

Extension of Final Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit. See Decision 
Memorandum regarding this extension from Holly A. Kuga to Bernard T. 
Carreau, dated concurrently with this notice, which is on file in the 
Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the final results until no later than February 2, 2002.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: November 11, 2001.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group II.
