Extension of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of 
antidumping duty administrative review.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of the review of stainless steel 
butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan. This review covers the period June 
1, 2000 through May 31, 2001.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 10, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Doyle, Enforcement Group III--
Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-0159.

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), are to the provisions effective January 
1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). In addition, unless otherwise 
indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR 
part 351 (2001).

Background

    On July 23, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of this antidumping duty administrative review for the period of June 
1, 2000 through May 31, 2001 (66 FR 38252). We published the 
preliminary results of review on July 9, 2002 (67 FR 45467). On 
November 7, 2002, (67 FR 67823) we extended the time limit for this 
review 30 days.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified, the 
administering authority may extend the 120-day period, following the 
date of publication of the preliminary results, to issue its final 
results by an additional 60 days. Completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable for the following reasons:
    [sbull] This review involves certain complex Constructed Export 
Price (``CEP'') adjustments including but not limited to CEP Profit and 
CEP Offset which were raised by respondent and petitioners after the 
verification and after the preliminary results of review.
    [sbull] The review involves a large number of transactions and 
complex adjustments other than those mentioned above.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review by 11 days until December 17, 2002.

    Dated: December 4, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
