Background

    On March 23, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on low enriched 
uranium from France, covering the period February 1, 2004, through 
January 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 14643 
(March 23, 2005).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the final results within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. However, if the Department 
finds 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 
these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    Due to the complex nature of the case and the need to issue 
supplemental questionnaires, the Department finds that it is not 
practicable to complete the preliminary results in this administrative 
review of low enriched uranium from France by October 31, 2005. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the preliminary results until no later than February 28, 2006, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The deadline for the 
final results of the administrative review continues to be 120 days 
after the publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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