Extension of Time Limit for Sunset Review of the Agreement 
Suspending the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium from the Russian 
Federation

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 10, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sally Gannon, Import Administration,

Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; (202) 482-0162.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limit for Sunset Review:

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended, (``the Act''), the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') may extend the period of time for making its 
determination by not more than 90 days if it determines that the review 
is extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) 
of the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily 
complicated if it is a review of a transition order. A transition order 
is defined as any antidumping or countervailing duty order or 
suspension agreement that was in effect on January 1, 1995, the date on 
which the WTO Agreement entered into force with respect to the United 
States. See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The agreement suspending 
the antidumping investigation on uranium from the Russian Federation 
was in effect prior to January 1, 1995 and, as such, is a transition 
order. Therefore, the Department has determined, pursuant to section 
751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, that the sunset review of the agreement 
suspending the antidumping investigation on uranium from the Russian 
Federation is extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time 
for the Department to complete its analysis. The Department will extend 
the deadlines in this proceeding and, as a result, intends to issue 
either the preliminary results of the full sunset review on January 17, 
2006 and the final results of the full sunset review on May 30, 2006, 
or the final results of the expedited review on January 27, 2006.
    This notice is issued in accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 
(C)(v) of the Act.

    Dated: November 3, 2005.

Director, Office of Policy.
