SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 5, 2004, the Department published the preliminary results 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sebacic acid 
from the PRC. See Sebacic Acid from the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Notice of Partial Recision, 69 FR 47409 (August 5, 2004) (Preliminary 
Results). The review covers Guangdong Chemical Import and Export 
Corporation and the period July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003. 
Extension of Time Limits for Final Results
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an antidumping duty 
order for which a review is requested and issue the final results 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, 
respectively.
    In the instant review, the Department has determined that it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit due 
to the need for analysis of certain complex issues, such as the 
selection of appropriate methodology for the calculation of the co-
product. Therefore, in accordance, with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, the Department is extending the time limit for the final results 
to no later than December 10, 2004, which is 127 days from the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: December 2, 2004.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
