SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
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, 2004. On May 3, 2004, the Department published a 
notice extending the date for issuing the final results of these 
reviews until August 9, 2004. See Antifriction Bearings and Parts 
Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United 
Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 24121, (May 3, 2004). 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 administrative review within 120 days of the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. The administering 
authority may extend the period of time for making a final 
determination without extending the time for making a preliminary 
determination, if such determination is made no later than 300 days 
after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. 
Completion of the final results of these reviews within the previously-
extended 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 these reviews by 30 days, until September 8, 2004.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: August 5, 2004.
Jeffrey May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group I.
