SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 15, 1989, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings from France, 
Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom and on 
spherical plain bearings and parts thereof from France in the Federal 
Register (54 FR 20900). At the request of interested parties, 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 27, 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 (April 4, 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 
necessity for additional time to analyze comments made by interested 
parties regarding the model-match methodology at meetings held with the 
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration on April 18, 2005, 
and April 19, 2005. Therefore, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by an additional nine 
days, until May 6, 2005, which is 340 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: April 20, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
