SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published the 
preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review on 
heavy forged hand tools (``HFHTs'') from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'') on March 10, 2005. See Heavy Forged Hand Tools, Finished or 
Unfinished, With or Without Handles, From the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of Administrative Reviews and Preliminary 
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 
11934 (March 10, 2005). The Department is now extending the time limit 
for completion of the final results of the antidumping duty 
administrative review on HFHTs from the PRC.

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue the final results in 
an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend this 
deadline to a maximum of 180 days.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results in the administrative review of HFHTs from the PRC within 
the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by July 8, 2005), because 
we are currently analyzing particularly complicated factors of 
production information, as well as information collected during 
verification. In addition, in order to provide parties sufficient time 
to comment on our preliminary results, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the final results until no later than 
September 6, 2005, in accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
Section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 9, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
