SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on antifriction bearings and parts thereof from France, 
Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period 
May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 69 FR 39409 (June 30, 2004). The preliminary results of 
reviews are currently due no later than January 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination 
to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the original time

limit because additional time is needed to analyze the questionnaire 
responses and supplemental questionnaire responses submitted by the 
respondents, to analyze comments on model-match methodology submitted 
by interested parties, and to conduct verifications of the respondents. 
Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary 
results of these reviews by 60 days, until April 1, 2005.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: January 14, 2005.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
