AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the final results of the 2002-2003 administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in 
coils from Mexico. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter of the 
subject merchandise to the United States, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de 
C.V. (Mexinox), and the period July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 26, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Angela Strom at (202) 482-2704,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 6, 2004, we published the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2002, 
through June 30, 2003. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
From Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 69 FR 47905 (August 6, 2004). Pursuant to the time limits for 
administrative reviews set forth in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), currently the final results 
of this administrative review are due on December 4, 2004. It is not 
practicable to complete this review within the normal statutory time 
limit due to a number of significant case issues, including the 
calculation of general and administrative expenses, interest expenses 
and the value of direct materials used in the cost of production and 
constructed value figures. Furthermore, additional time is necessary 
for the Department to analyze certain adjustments made to normal value 
and to evaluate the commercial transactions between Mexinox and 
affiliated parties. Thus, it is not practicable to complete this review 
within the normal statutory time limit. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results until 
January 14, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act.

    Dated: November 19, 2004.
Jeffrey A. May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
