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 
April 1, 2005. See Antifriction Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, 
Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom: Extension of 
Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 70 FR 3676 (January 26, 2005).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 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. 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 of the 
number of companies involved in these reviews, the complex issues 
surrounding the model-match methodology, and the additional time we 
need to conduct verifications. Therefore, we are extending the time 
period for issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by an 
additional 26 days, until April 27, 2005, which is 331 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month of the order.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 29, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
