Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Cased Pencils from the 
People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 20, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Stolz or Erin Begnal, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 12, 2005, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain cased pencils from the People's Republic of 
China. See Certain Cased Pencils from the People's Republic of China; 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Intent to Rescind in Part, 70 FR 2115 (January 12, 2005). Pursuant to 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
the final results are currently due on May 12, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Trade Act as amended (the Act) provides 
that the Department may extend the time limit for completion of the 
final results of an administrative review to a maximum of 180 days if 
it determines that it is not practicable to complete the final results 
within the statutory time limit of 120 days from the date on which the 
preliminary results were published. The Department has determined that, 
due to the complexity of the issues arising from the calculation of 
surrogate values, it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of these 
final results until no later than July 11, 2005, which is 180 days from 
the date on which the notice of the preliminary results was published.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and section 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: May 12, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
