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

EFFECTIVE DATE:  February 14, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Smith at (202) 482-1276, AD/CVD

Background

    On August 30, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand covering the 
period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. See Notice of Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 52857 
(August 30, 2004). The preliminary results for this review are 
currently due no later than April 4, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``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 order for which a review is requested and a 
final determination within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, 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.
    We are currently analyzing complicated sales and cost information 
that has required numerous supplemental questionnaire responses. In 
particular, our analysis of input costs, general and administrative 
expenses, and interest expenses requires additional time and makes it 
impracticable to complete the preliminary results of this review within 
the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., April 4, 2005). Therefore, 
the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results to no later than May 4, 2005, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 8, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
