Background

    On September 6, 2000, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
administrative review for the period of January 4, 2000 through June 
30, 2001 (65 FR 58733). The Department published its preliminary 
results on August 8, 2001 (66 FR 41517).

Extension of Time Limit for Final 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 because this review 
involves certain complex issues, including respondent's request for a 
constructed export price offset and numerous affiliated entities.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review by 30 days until January 7, 2002.

    Dated: November 23, 2001.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
