SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Statutory Time Limits
    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to make a 
final determination within 90 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination is issued. However, if the Department 
concludes that the case is extraordinarily complicated, it may extend 
the 90-day period to 150 days.
Background
    On March 8, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on potassium 
permanganate from the People's Republic of China (PRC) covering the 
period of January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000 (66 FR 13895). On 
January 3, 2002, the Department published the preliminary results of 
its antidumping duty new shipper review (67 FR 303). In our notice of 
preliminary results, we stated our intention to issue the final results 
of this new shipper review within 90 days from the date of the 
preliminary results unless the time limit is extended.
Extension of Time Limit For Final Results of Review
    Based on a number of complex factual issues in the preliminary 
results, we have determined that additional time is needed in order to 
complete the final results of this review. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results until no 
later than May 25, 2002. See Memorandum 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.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Act.
