Certain Pasta From Turkey: Extension of Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Young at (202) 482-6397, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue (1) the preliminary results of a 
review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of 
an order or finding for which a review is requested, and (2) the final 
results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a 
maximum of 365 days and the final results to a maximum of 180 days (or 
300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the 
preliminary results) from the date of the publication of the 
preliminary results. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Background

    On August 22, 2003, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
pasta from Turkey, covering the period July 1, 2002, to June 30, 2003. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 50750. On March 17, 
2004, the Department fully extended the preliminary results of the 
aforementioned review by 120 days. See Certain Pasta from Italy and 
Turkey: Extension of Preliminary Results of 2002/2003 Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 69 FR12641. On August 6, 2004, the Department 
published the preliminary results of its review. See Certain Pasta From 
Turkey: Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 69 FR 47876. The final results of this review 
are currently due no later than December 6, 2004.

Extension of Final Results of Reviews

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit because the 
Department needs additional time to fully consider parties' arguments 
regarding the proposed modifications to the wheat codes and rejection 
of untimely submissions. Therefore, we are extending the deadline for 
the final results of the above-referenced review until February 2, 
2005.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: October 29, 2004.
Jeffrey A. May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
