SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute refer to 
the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the 
amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Tariff Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, all citations to the 
Department's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 
CFR Part 351 (2001).

Background

    Based on a request from Metal Forgings, and pursuant to section 
351.214 of the Department's Regulations, on November 23, 2001, the 
Department initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order 
on certain stainless steel flanges from India, covering the period 
January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2001 (66 FR 59568, November 29, 2001). 
The preliminary results are currently due no later than May 22, 2002.

Postponement of Preliminary Results

    We have determined that we need additional information concerning 
the nature of respondent's home market merchandise, sales prices, and 
expenses, in order to make the calculations necessary for the 
preliminary results. Because of these unresolved issues, we consider 
this case to be extraordinarily complicated, and we are extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results until September 
19, 2002, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act 
and section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations. The deadline 
for the final results of this review will continue to be 90 days after 
the date on which the preliminary results are issued, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1).

    Dated: May 19, 2002
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration, Group III.
