SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background
    On June 30, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(69 FR 39409) a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Taiwan. 
The period of review (POR) is May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004, and 
the preliminary results are currently due no later than January 31, 
2004.

Extension of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping 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 the 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to 
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because the Department received a 
filing from the petitioners in this administrative review \1\ on 
January 21, 2005, in which the petitioners allege that Ta Chen 
Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd. misclassified entries of subject merchandise 
made during the POR as non-subject merchandise. The Department requires 
further time in order to analyze the issue. Consequently, we have 
extended the deadline for completing the preliminary results until May 
31, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioners are Allegheny Ludlum Corp., United Auto 
Workers Local 3303, Zanesville Armco Independent Organization and 
the United Steelworkers of America, and AFL-CIO/CLC.

    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act (19
