SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Departments's regulations are 
to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351 (2001).

Background

    On August 27, 2001, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from respondent Zhenxing Chemical Company to conduct 
an administrative review. The Department also received a request on 
August 30, 2001 from petitioner, Nation Ford Chemical Company (NFC), to 
conduct an administrative review of Zhenxing Chemical Company. On 
October 1, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sulfanilic acid 
from the People's Republic of China, covering the period August 1, 2000 
through July 31, 2001 (67 FR 31770). On May 10, 2002, the Department 
published its preliminary results of this administrative review (67 FR 
31770).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Because of the complexities involved in this review, including the 
need to analyze new public information on factor valuation timely 
submitted by the parties since the preliminary results of review, it is 
not practical to complete this review within the time limits mandated 
by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time 
limit for the final results of review from September 7, 2002 to 
November 15, 2002.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) 
and 777 (i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 29, 2002.

Deputy Assistant Secretary AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
