shipments of HRS by Essar Steel Limited (Essar) to the United States 
for the period from December 1, 2003, through November 30, 2004. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 
2005). The preliminary results are currently due no later than 
September 2, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    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 the date 
of publication of the order for which a review is requested and a final 
determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary 
determination is 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 
preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days and the time limit 
for the final determination to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department 
does not extend the time limit for the preliminary determination) from 
the date of publication of the preliminary determination.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within this time limit because 
additional time is needed to fully analyze significant amounts of new 
data only recently submitted. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this review until no later 
than January 3, 2006, which is the next business day after 365 days 
from the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication 
of the order. The deadline for the final results of this administrative 
review continues to be 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: August 18, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
