antidumping duty order on certain stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings from Taiwan. The period of review is June 1, 2005, through May 
31, 2006. This extension is made pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 25, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy Lao or John Drury, Office 7, AD/
CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

7924 and (202) 482-0195, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 2, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan covering the period 
June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2006. See Certain Stainless Steel Butt-
Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Intent to Rescind in Part, 72 FR 35970 (July 
2, 2007). The final results for the antidumping duty administrative 
review of certain stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan 
are currently due no later than October 30, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
the results in an administrative review within 120 days of the 
publication of the preliminary results. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does 
not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the original time frame (i.e., by October 
30, 2007). Specifically, the Department requires additional time to 
review complex issues raised in the case briefs. In addition, the 
Department accepted new factual information late in the proceeding and 
finds it necessary to take additional time to complete an analysis of 
that information. Because it is not practicable to complete this 
administrative review within the time limit mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results of this 
administrative review by 45 days, to no later than December 14, 2007.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 18, 2007.
Stephen J. Clays,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
