Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From Mexico; Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review; Extension of Time Limit

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the final results of the 2001-2002 administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in 
coils from Mexico. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter of the 
subject merchandise to the United States, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de 
C.V., and the period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 14, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Scott at (202) 482-2657 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 7, 2003, we published the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2001 
through June 30, 2002. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
from Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 68 FR 47043 (August 7, 2003). 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), currently the final results 
of this administrative review are due on December 5, 2003. It is not 
practicable to complete this review within the normal statutory time 
limit due to a number of significant case issues, such as level of 
trade, the calculation of general and administrative expenses and 
interest expenses for cost of production and constructed value, and the 
inclusion of certain affiliated sales in the margin calculation. Making 
a determination with respect to these issues requires considerable 
scrutiny of respondent's questionnaire and supplemental questionnaire 
responses. Thus, it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the normal statutory time limit. Therefore, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the final results until February 3, 
2004 in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.

    Dated: October 7, 2003.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
