Extension of Final Results of Reviews

    On June 1, 2004, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on SSSS from Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, 
Taiwan and the United Kingdom, and the countervailing duty order on 
SSSS from Korea. See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 
30874 (June 1, 2004). The Department, in these proceedings, determined 
that it would conduct expedited sunset reviews of these orders based on 
inadequate responses to the notice of initiation from respondent 
interested parties. The Department's final results of these reviews 
were scheduled for September 29, 2004. The Department, however, needs 
additional time to: Consider issues related to the appropriate 
margin(s) of dumping likely to prevail if the order is revoked which 
the Department will provide to the International Trade Commission, with 
respect to the antidumping duty orders on SSSS from Germany, Italy, 
Korea, Taiwan and the United Kingdom; take into account the large 
number of companies, with respect to the antidumping order on SSSS from 
Japan; and address the large number of issues and companies, with 
respect to the countervailing duty order on SSSS from Korea. Thus, the 
Department intends to issue the final results on or about November 15, 
2004, in accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 751(c)(5)(C)(i), 
(ii) and (iii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: September 29, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
