Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Automotive Replacement Glass 
Windshields From the People's Republic of China

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 9, 2004.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of the antidumping duty review of 
automotive replacement glass windshields from the People's Republic of 
China. This review covers the period September 19, 2001 through March 
31, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Bolling or Jon Freed, AD/CVD 
Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3434 and (202) 482-3818, 
respectively.

Background

    On May 7, 2004, the Department published the preliminary results of 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ARG 
windshields from the PRC. See Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 25545 (May 7, 2004). The final 
results of this administrative review are currently due no later than 
September 4, 2004.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified, the 
administering authority may extend the 120-day period, following the 
date of publication of the preliminary results, to issue its final 
results by an additional 60 days. Completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable for the following reasons: 
This review involves certain complex issues which were raised in the 
briefs after the preliminary results of review including: (1) Exclusion 
of export price sales from margin calculation; and (2) use of market 
prices for float glass instead of surrogate values.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review by 30 days until no later than October 4, 2004.

    Dated: August 3, 2004.
Jeffrey A. May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group I.
