Background

    On July 28, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of tapered roller bearings and 
parts thereof, finished or unfinished, from the People's Republic of 
China for the period June 1, 2003, through May 31, 2004. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 45010 (July 28, 2004). On 
February 4, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the 
administrative review from March 2, 2005, to May 1, 2005. See Extension 
of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Tapered Roller Bearings, and Parts Thereof, 
Finished or Unfinished From the People's Republic of China 70 FR 5967 
(February 4, 2005). The preliminary

results of review are currently due no later than May 1, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for 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 conduct verification of two companies' questionnaire responses (one 
of which requested revocation), to analyze the information pertaining 
to these companies' verifications, and to review supplemental 
questionnaire responses of the third company.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are fully extending the time period 
for issuing the preliminary results of review to 365 days until June 
30, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results of review.

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