Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From Mexico; Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review; Time Limits

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limits.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limits for the final results of the 2000-2001 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip 
in coils from Mexico. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. 
de C.V., and the period July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2001.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 7, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Scott at (202) 482-2657 or 
Robert James at (202) 482-0649, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Office Eight, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 7, 2002, we published the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2000, 
through June 30, 2001. See ``Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
from Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review,'' 67 FR 51204 (August 7, 2002). Currently, the final results of 
this administrative review are due on December 5, 2002. However, we 
determine it is not practicable to complete the final results of this 
review within the original time limit due to a number of significant 
case issues. Petitioners' and respondent's case and rebuttal briefs 
raise complicated issues related to the further manufacturing of 
subject merchandise in the United States, level of trade, and cost of 
production, such as material costs and the calculation of interest and 
general and administrative expenses. Making a determination with 
respect to each of these issues, particularly those related to further 
manufacturing and cost of production, requires considerable scrutiny of 
respondent's questionnaire and supplemental questionnaire responses. 
Therefore, because it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the normal statutory time limit, the Department is extending the time 
limits for completion of the final results until February 3, 2003, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Tariff Act).
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)(3)(A) (2001)).

    Dated: November 1, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
