SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the

review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip 
in coils from Germany. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States and the period July 1, 
2000 through June 30, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Tran at (202) 482-1121 or 
Robert James at (202) 482-0649, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Office Eight, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 20, 2001, in response to requests 
from the respondent and petitioners, we published a notice of 
initiation of this administrative review in the Federal Register. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 66 FR 43570. Pursuant to 
the time limits for administrative reviews set forth in section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the 
current deadlines are April 2, 2002 for the preliminary results and 
July 31, 2002 for the final results. It is not practicable to complete 
this review within the normal statutory time limit due to a number of 
significant case issues, such as major inputs purchased from affiliated 
and unaffiliated suppliers and the use of downstream sales. Therefore, 
the Department is extending the time limits for completion of the 
preliminary results until July 31, 2002 in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The deadline for the final results of this 
review will continue to be 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
