Stainless Steel Bar From the United Kingdom: Notice of Extension 
of Time Limit for Preliminary Results in Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 10, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Johnson at (202) 482-4929, or 
Rebecca Trainor at (202) 482-4007, Office 2, AD/CVD Enforcement Group 
I, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the first administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from the United Kingdom, 
which covers the period August 2, 2001, through February 28, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make 
a preliminary determination in an administrative review of an 
antidumping duty order within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The Act 
further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 245-day 
period to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the foregoing time period. The Department finds that 
it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results in the 
administrative review of stainless steel bar from the United Kingdom 
within the 245-day time period because, as a result of the progress of 
the case and necessary verification scheduling, the verification of the 
sole respondent in this review is scheduled to be conducted in mid-
November, which will not allow sufficient time to complete the 
preliminary results by the scheduled deadline of December 1, 2003.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the preliminary 
results of this review until March 30, 2004.
