ACTION: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Admininistrative Review.

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

EFFECTIVE DATE:  December 4, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Strollo at (202) 482-0629, 
Office of AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On August 20, 2001, the Department 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People's Republic of 
China. On August 6, 2002, the Department published a notice of 
preliminary results of antidumping duty administrative review and 
notice of partial rescission. The period of review is July 1, 2000 
through June 30, 2001. The review covers one exporter of the subject 
merchandise to the United States.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), the Department shall make a final determination 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 
days after the day on which the preliminary results are published. 
However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within this 
time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the final determination of an administrative 
review to 180 days. Due to the complexity of the surrogate value issues 
raised in the case briefs, it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 751 (a)(3)(A) of the Act, we 
have fully

extended the deadline for the final results of this administrative 
review until February 2, 2003.

    Dated: November 27, 2002.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
