SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department initiated 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction 
bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 
Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1, 2002, through 
April 30, 2003. See, Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 
39055, (July 1, 2003), and Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests for Revocation in Part and 
Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 68 FR 44524, (July 29, 2003). On 
February 9, 2004, the Department published its preliminary findings. 
See Antifriction Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Partial Rescission of 
Administrative Reviews, Notice of Intent to Rescind Administrative 
Reviews, and Notice of Intent to Revoke Order in Part, 69 FR 5950, 
(February 9, 2004). The

final results of reviews were originally scheduled for June 8, 2040.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
antidumping duty annual review within 120 days of the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If the Department concludes that it 
is not practicable to issue the results by the original deadline, it 
may extend the 120-day period to 180 days. Completion of the final 
results of these reviews within this 120-day period is not practicable 
because of the large number of respondents and the complexity of the 
issues raised in these reviews. Therefore, we are extending the time 
period for issuing the final results of the review by 60 days, until 
August 9, 2004.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and Sec.  351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: April 27, 2004.
Jeffrey May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement.
