Time Limits

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to issue the 
preliminary results of a review within 245 days after the last day of 
the anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested and the final results within 120 days after the date on which 
the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within that time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days and for the final 
results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the 
time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of the 
publication of the preliminary results.

Background

    On October 1, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the notice of initiation of this antidumping duty 
administrative review with respect to certain large diameter carbon and 
alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe, covering the period 
February 4, 2000 through July 31, 2001 (66 FR 49924). The preliminary 
results are due no later than May 3, 2002.

Extension of Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore, we 
are extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results 
until no later than June 3, 2002. See Decision Memorandum from Melissa 
Skinner to Bernard Carreau, dated May 2, 2002, which is on file in the 
Central Records Unit, B-099 of the main Commerce Building. We intend to 
issue the final results no later than 120 days after the publication of 
the notice of preliminary results of this review.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: May 2, 2002.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
