SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 7, 2005, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on low 
enriched uranium from France for the period February 1, 2003 through 
January 31, 2004. See Low Enriched Uranium from France: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review (70 FR 10957). The 
current deadline for the final results of this review is July 7, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to issue the 
final results in an administrative review within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results were published. However, if it is 
not practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to 180 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results. The Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the original time frame due to the complex 
nature of the case and because the Department is seeking clarification 
on certain issues (supplemental questionnaires were issued on March 8, 
2005 and March 18, 2005, after the preliminary results were issued). In 
order to provide the Department sufficient time to review the 
submissions, conduct verification, and thoroughly analyze all 
information on the record, completion of this review is not practicable 
within the original time limit. Consequently, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations, the Department is extending the time limit 
for the completion of the final results of the review until no later 
than September 6, 2005, which is the next business day after 180 days 
from the publication of the preliminary results. This notice is issued 
and published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: May 2, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
