EFFECTIVE DATE: March 22, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jon Freed or Will Dickerson, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of

Background

    On May 27, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review 
of automotive replacement glass windshields from the People's Republic 
of China for the period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 30282 (May 27, 2004). 
On October 12, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice rescinding the administrative review of two companies which had 
withdrawn their requests for reviews. See Notice of Partial Rescission 
of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Automotive 
Replacement Glass Windshields from the People's Republic of China, 69 
FR 60612 (October 12, 2004). On December 3, 2004, the Department 
published in the Federal Register a notice extending the time limit for 
the preliminary results of the administrative review from December 31, 
2004, to March 31, 2005. See Extension of Time Limit for the 
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: 
Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from the People's Republic of 
China, 69 FR 70224 (December 3, 2004). The preliminary results of 
review are currently due no later than March 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), states that, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time specified, the administering authority may extend the 
245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 days. 
Completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day 
period is not practicable because the Department needs additional time 
to analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to 
verification of one company's questionnaire responses and to review 
supplemental questionnaire responses of a second company.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time limit for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by an additional 30 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, as 30 days 
from March 31, 2005, falls on a Saturday, the preliminary results are 
now due on May 2, 2005, the next business day. The final results of 
review continue to be due 120 days after the date of publication of the 
preliminary results.

    Dated: March 15, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
