SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 8, 2009, 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, 2007, through May 31, 2008. See Certain Stainless Steel Butt-
Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part, and Notice 
of Intent Not to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 32532 (July 8, 2009). 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 November 5, 2009.

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 up 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 November 
5, 2009). Specifically, the Department requires additional time to 
review complex issues raised in the respondent Ta Chen Stainless Pipe 
Co. Ltd.'s case brief, including comments relating to the respondent's 
qualification for a constructed export price offset and the 
Department's use of facts available with respect to certain aspects of 
respondent's cost reporting. 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 32 days, to no later than December 7, 2009.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 5, 2009.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
