Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from France, which 
covers the period March 1, 2003, through February 29, 2004.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 5, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger at (202) 482-4136, 
or Terre Keaton at (202) 482-1280, Import Administration, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 2, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC, 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department shall make a 
preliminary determination in an administrative review of an antidumping 
duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month 
of the date of publication of the order. The Act further provides, 
however, that the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days 
if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within 
the foregoing time period. The preliminary results are currently 
scheduled to be completed on December 1, 2004. However, the Department 
finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results in 
this administrative review of stainless steel bar from France within 
this time limit because additional time is needed to fully analyze the 
questionnaire responses and supplemental questionnaire responses 
submitted by the respondent and conduct a verification of the 
respondent in this administrative review.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of this review until March 30, 2005.

    Dated: November 1, 2004.
Jeffrey A. May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
