SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2004, the Department published an opportunity to 
request a review for porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of December 1, 2003, to 
November 30, 2004. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Filing, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request an 
Administrative Review, 69 FR 69889 (December 1, 2004). On December 28, 
2005, respondent Shanghai Watex Metal Products Co., Ltd., an exporter 
of the subject merchandise, requested a review. No other interested 
parties requested a review. On January 31, 2005, the Department 
published its notice of initiation of an antidumping administrative 
review on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the PRC. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 2005). The 
preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due no 
later than September 2, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue preliminary results 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of 
publication of the order for which a review is requested and the final 
results 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 specified time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in the administrative review of porcelain-on-steel 
cooking ware from the PRC within the originally anticipated time limit, 
September 2, 2005, because we are currently analyzing factors of 
production information that has required numerous supplemental 
questionnaires. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit 
for completion of the preliminary results by 90 days to December 1, 
2005, in accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The deadline 
for the final results of this administrative review continues to be 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
Section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 4, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
