Brake Rotors from the People's Republic of China: Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results in the Seventh 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and the Eleventh New Shipper 
Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 17, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amber Musser at (202) 482-1777, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC, 20230.

Extension of Time Limit

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department of Commerce (``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.
    Pursuant to 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department shall make 
a preliminary determination in a new shipper review within 180 days 
after the date on which the review is initiated. However, if the case 
is extraordinarily complicated, it may extend the 180-day period for 
the preliminary results to 300 days.
    The Department initiated the seventh administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC'') (69 FR 30282) on May 27, 2004 and the eleventh new 
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the 
PRC (69 FR 29920) on May 26, 2004. Pursuant to section 351.214(j)(3) of 
its regulations, the Department is conducting these reviews 
concurrently.

[[Page 75511]]

    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in the administrative review and new shipper review 
of brake rotors from the PRC within this time limit. Specifically, due 
to resource constraints and the number of respondents and issues in 
this review, we find that additional time is needed in order to 
complete these preliminary results.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the preliminary 
results of these reviews until April 30, 2005.

    Dated: December 10, 2004.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
