SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 8, 2005, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
steel sheet and strip in coils (SSSS) from France for the period of 
July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004 (see Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip 
in Coils from France, 70 FR 45668 (August 8, 2005) (Preliminary 
Results)). The current deadline for the final results of this review is 
December 6, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to issue the 
final results in an administrative review within 120 days of the date 
on which the preliminary results were published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act

[[Page 72989]]

allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to 
180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary results.
    Due to the complex nature of certain issues raised in the parties' 
comments to the Preliminary Results related to the calculation of 
specific adjustments (such as warranty expenses) and assessment rates, 
additional time is required to complete our analysis. Therefore, the 
Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the original time frame. Consequently, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations, the Department is extending the time limit 
for the completion of the final results of the review until no later 
than January 30, 2006, or 175 days from the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: December 2, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
