covers the period August 1, 2000 through January 31, 2001. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute And Regulations:

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

Extension Of Time Limit Of Final Results:

    Under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department may 
extend the deadline for completion of a new shipper review if it 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
statutory time limit of 90 days after issuance of the preliminary 
determination. In the instant case, the Department has determined that 
it is not practicable to complete the review within the statutory time 
limit due to certain complex issues relating to Shanghai New Star 
Import/Export Co., Ltd. and Peak Candle's sales valuation, surrogate 
values and factors of production.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time limits mandated by the Act (90 days after the date the preliminary 
determination is issued), in accordance with Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for the final 
determination an additional 45 days, to no later than May 30, 2002.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's Regulations.

    Dated: April 12, 2002
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
