SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published an 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils (SSPC) from 
Taiwan on May 21, 1999 (See Antidumping Duty Orders; Certain Stainless 
Steel Plate in Coils From Belgium, Canada, Italy, the Republic of 
Korea, South Africa, and Taiwan, 64 FR 27756). On June 30, 2004, the 
Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review 
of the order on SSPC from Taiwan for the period May 1, 2003, through 
April 30, 2004. See 69 FR 39409. The respondents in this administrative 
review are: Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd.; Yieh United Steel 
Corporation; China Steel Corporation; Tang Eng Iron Works; PFP Taiwan 
Co., Ltd.; Yieh Loong Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Yieh Trading Co; Goang Jau 
Shing Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Yieh Mau Corporation; Chien Shing Stainless 
Co., Ltd.; East Tack Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Shing Shong Ta Metal Ind. 
Co., Ltd.; Sinkang Industries, Ltd.; Chang Mien Industries Co., Ltd.; 
and Chain Chin Industrial Co., Ltd. On June 7, 2005, the Department 
published in the Federal Register the notice of its preliminary intent 
to rescind this review. See Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Taiwan; 
Preliminary Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 
33083. A final decision is currently due no later than October 5, 2005.

Extension of the Time Limit for Final Results of Administrative Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a final determination in an 
administrative review 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 final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does 
not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within 120 days because we are currently 
considering whether to solicit additional data and/or comments 
regarding shipments of subject merchandise during the period of review. 
Because it is not practicable to complete this administrative review 
within the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is fully extending the time limit 
for completion of the final results of this administrative review to 
180 days, until December 4, 2005. However, December 4, 2005, falls on 
Sunday, and it is the Department's long-standing practice to issue a 
determination the next business day when the statutory deadline falls 
on a weekend, federal holiday, or any other day when the Department is 
closed. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business 
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the 
Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 
Accordingly, the deadline for completion of the final results is 
December 5, 2005.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations.

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