[A-201-830]


Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Mexico: Extension of Time 
Limits for the Final Results of Antidumping Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Young at (202) 482-6397, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue (1) the preliminary results of a 
review within 245 days after the last day of the month in which occurs 
the anniversary of the date of publication of an order or finding for 
which a review is requested, and (2) the final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within that time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days and 
the final results to a maximum of 180 days (or 300 days if the 
Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) 
from the date of the publication of the preliminary results. See also 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Extension of Final Results of Reviews

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limits. Due to the 
complexity of issues present in this administrative review, such as 
complicated cost accounting issues, the Department needs more time to 
address these items and evaluate the issues more thoroughly. Therefore, 
we are extending the deadline for the final results of the above-
referenced review 60 days\1\. As a result, the final results will be 
issued no later than May 9, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The 60-day extension of the final results falls on Saturday 
May 7, 2005; therefore, the final results will be issued no later 
than the first business day thereafter, Monday May 9, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: February 10, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
