Background

    On December 12, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published an antidumping duty order on certain malleable 
iron pipe fittings from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings from the 
People's Republic of China, 68 FR 69376.
    On December 30, 2004, the petitioners\1\ requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of Beijing Sai Lin Ke 
Hardware Co. Ltd, Langfang Pannext Pipe Fittings Co., Ltd., Chengde 
Malleable Iron General Factory, and SCE Co., Ltd for the period 
December 2, 2003, through November 30, 2004. 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 review are currently due no later than September 2, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination 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.
    The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend 
that 245-day period to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable 
to complete the review within the foregoing time period. We find that 
it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results in this 
administrative review because additional time is needed to analyze a 
significant amount of information regarding to each company's factors 
of production and corresponding surrogate values, and to review 
responses to supplemental questionnaires from two pro se respondents.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of this review by an additional 105 
days until December 16, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: August 29, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
