SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limits for 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 up to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    The preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from France are currently 
scheduled to be completed on December 1, 2005. However, the Department 
finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results in 
this administrative review within this time limit because additional 
time is needed to fully analyze the complex issues raised in the 
questionnaire responses and supplemental questionnaire responses 
submitted by the respondent.

[[Page 69320]]

    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 by 43 days to January 13, 2006. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.

    Dated: November 7, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
