Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From Taiwan: Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the 2007-2008 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Henry Almond at (202) 482-0049, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street, and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

Background

    On August 5, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results and partial 
rescission of the antidumping duty administrative review of stainless 
steel sheet and strip in coils from Taiwan covering the period July 1, 
2007, through June 30, 2008. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in 
Coils From Taiwan: Preliminary Results and Rescission in Part of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 39055 (August 5, 2009). 
The final results for this administrative review are currently due no 
later than December 3, 2009, the next business day after 120 days from 
the date of publication of the preliminary results of review.

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete this 
administrative review within the original time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we require additional time to 
properly consider the complex issues related to middleman dumping 
raised by interested parties during the briefing process in this case. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the final results of this review by 60 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results are now due no later than 
February 1, 2010.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act.

    Dated: November 13, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
