on pure magnesium from Canada. The period of review is August 1, 2000 
through July 31, 2001. This extension is made pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jarrod Goldfeder or Scott Holland,

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') by 
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, and all citations to the regulations 
are to 19 CFR Part 351 (2001).

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. 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 these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.

Background

    On September 24, 2001, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
pure magnesium from Canada, covering the period August 1, 2000, through 
July 31, 2001 (66 FR 49924). The preliminary results for the 
antidumping duty administrative review of pure magnesium from Canada 
are currently due no later than May 3, 2002.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Due to the complexity of the issues, it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit 
(i.e., May 3, 2002). See Memorandum from Team to Richard W. Moreland, 
``Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results,'' dated, February 1, 
2001. Therefore, the Department of Commerce is extending the time limit 
for completion of the preliminary results to not later than September 
3, 2002, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 9, 2002
Susan Kuhback,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement.
