Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Automotive Replacement Glass 
Windshields From the People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit, from December 31, 2004, until no later than March 31, 
2005, for the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on automotive replacement glass windshields from 
the People's Republic of China. This review covers the period April 1, 
2003, through March 31, 2004.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 3, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jon Freed or Will Dickerson, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 
20230; telephone: (202) 482-3818, or 482-1778, respectively.

Background

    On May 27, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review 
of ARG from the PRC for the period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 
2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 30282 
(May 27, 2004). On October 12, 2004, the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice rescinding the administrative review of two 
companies which had withdrawn their requests for reviews. See Notice of 
Partial Rescission of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: 
Certain Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from the People's 
Republic of China, 69 FR 60612 (October 12, 2004). The preliminary 
results of review are currently due no later than December 31, 2004.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), states that, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time specified, the administering authority may extend the 
245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 days. 
Completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day 
period is not practicable because the Department needs additional time 
to analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each 
company's sales practices, factors of production, and corporate 
relationships, and to review responses to supplemental questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by 90 days until March 31, 
2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.

    Dated: November 29, 2004.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
