SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2004, the Department published an opportunity to 
request a review for porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of December 1, 2003, to 
November 30, 2004. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Filing, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request an 
Administrative Review, 69 FR 69889 (December 1, 2004). On December 28, 
2004, respondent Shanghai Watex Metal Products Co., Ltd. (``Watex''), 
an exporter of the subject merchandise, requested a review. No other 
interested parties requested a review. On January 31, 2005, the 
Department published its notice of initiation of an antidumping 
administrative review on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the PRC. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 
2005). On August 11, 2005, the Department published a notice of 
extension of time limit for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review extending the time limit for the preliminary 
results by 90 days until December 1, 2005. See Porcelain-on-Steel 
Cooking Ware from the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time 
Limit for Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 70 FR 46813 (August 11, 2005). The preliminary results of this 
administrative review are currently due December 1, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue preliminary results 
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 for which a review is requested and the final 
results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the specified time periods, 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.
    Completion of the preliminary results within the originally 
anticipated time limit, December 1, 2005, is impracticable because this 
review requires the Department to analyze complex issues regarding 
Watex's corporate structure and its affiliations and corporate 
relationships. Because it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time specified under the Act, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 14 days to 
December 15, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 
The deadline for the final results of this administrative review 
continues to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 22, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
