Background

    On June 4, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary rescission of the administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from 
Taiwan. See Preliminary Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Taiwan, 68 FR 33472 (June 
4, 2003). The final results of this administrative review are currently 
due no later than October 2, 2003.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Due to the complexity of issues present in this administrative 
review, such as complicated affiliation issues and middleman dumping 
allegations, the Department has determined that it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the original time period provided in 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and section 
351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations. Given the complexity of 
these issues and the large amount of information collected during the 
review, the Department needs additional time to review the record of 
this proceeding and make a determination. Therefore, we are extending 
the due date for the final results by 30 days, until no later than 
November 1, 2003.
