SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 7, 2003, we published the

Currently, the final results in this administrative review are due on 
December 5, 2003. Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), the Department may extend the 
deadline for completion of an administrative review if it determines 
that it is not practicable to complete the final results of the review 
within the normal statutory time limit. The Department issued a 
supplemental questionnaire on September 5, 2003 to respondents 
requesting all information on downstream sales made by Thyssen Schulte 
(TS). Due to the request for additional information, the Department 
must allot the appropriate time to review and analyze the new 
information. In addition, the Department must allow parties to submit 
briefs and rebuttal briefs. The Department determines it is not

practicable to complete this review within the normal statutory time 
limit. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limits for 
completion of the final results until February 3, 2004, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.
