Petroleum Wax Candles From the People's Republic of China; 
Extension of Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping 
Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for its final results in the sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from the People's 
Republic of China. Based on adequate responses from the domestic 
interested parties and an inadequate response from respondent 
interested parties, the Department is conducting an expedited sunset 
review to determine whether revocation of the antidumping order would 
lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping. As a result of this 
extension, the Department intends to issue final results of this 
expedited sunset review on or about December 10, 2004.

EFFECTIVE DATES: December 7, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hilary E. Sadler, Esq., Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; 
telephone: (202) 482-4340.
    Extension of Final Results: In accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(B), the Department may extend the period of time for making 
its determination by not more than 90 days, if it determines that the 
review is extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in 751(c)(5)(C)(v) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department may 
treat a sunset review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review 
of a transition order, as is the case in this proceeding. Therefore, 
the Department has determined, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of 
the Act, that the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on 
petroleum wax candles from the People's Republic of China is 
extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time to complete 
its analysis. The Department's final results of review in this case 
were scheduled for November 30, 2004. The Department will extend the 
deadline in this proceeding and, as a result, intends to issue the 
final results on or about December 10, 2004 in accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(B).

    Dated: November 30, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
