AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.

DATES: Effective Date: April 7, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha Douthit at 202-482-5050, or

Background

    On December 1, 2004, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the

[[Page 17648]]

antidumping duty orders on Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from 
Brazil, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Thailand, 
and Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy and Japan. Based 
on adequate responses from the domestic interested parties and 
inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the Department 
of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting expedited sunset reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings 
from Brazil, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and 
Thailand, and Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy and 
Japan. The Department's final results of these sunset reviews are 
currently scheduled for March 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Reviews

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (``the Act''), the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') may extend the period of time for making its final 
determination in a sunset review by not more than 90 days, if it 
determined that the review is extraordinarily complicated. As set forth 
in 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review 
as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order, 
as is the case in these proceedings. The Department has determined, 
pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, that the sunset reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings 
from Brazil, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, 
and Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy and Japan, are 
extraordinarily complicated and require additional time for the 
Department to complete its analysis. Therefore, the Department will 
extend the deadlines in these proceedings and, as a result, intends to 
issue the final results of the sunset reviews on Carbon Steel Weld-Pipe 
Fittings from Brazil, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, 
and Thailand, and Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy and 
Japan, on or about June 29, 2005, 90 days from the original scheduled 
date of final results of review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(c)(5)(B) and 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act.

    Dated: March 31, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
