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

SUMMARY:  The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limits for the preliminary results of the 2001-2002 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip 
in coils from Germany. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States and the period July 1, 
2001 through June 30, 2002.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 10, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Tran at (202) 482-1121 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 27, 2002, in response to requests 
from the respondent and petitioners, we published a notice of 
initiation of this administrative review in the Federal Register. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 67 FR 55000 (August 27, 
2002). Pursuant to the time limits for administrative reviews set forth 
in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Tariff Act), the current deadlines are April 2, 2003 for the 
preliminary results and July 31, 2003, for the final results. It is not 
practicable to complete this review within the normal statutory time 
limit due to a number of significant case issues, such as affiliated 
resellers, the use of downstream sales, and physical product 
characteristics. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limits 
for completion of the preliminary results until July 31, 2003 in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act. The deadline 
for the final results of this review will continue to be 120 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act.

    Dated: January 31, 2003.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
