FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John Drury or Angelica Mendoza, Office 7, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-0195 and (202) 482-3019, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 8, 2008, 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, 2006, through May 31, 2007. See Certain Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part , 73 FR 38972 (July 8, 2008). 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, 2008.
Extension of Time Limits for Final Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue the final 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 November 5, 2008). Specifically, the Department requires additional time to review complex issues raised in parties' case briefs including substantive 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 60 days, to no later than January 4, 2009. Because January 4, 2009 falls on a Sunday, the new deadline for the final results will be the next business day, Monday, January 5, 2009. See 19 CFR 351.303(b).
This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Dated: October 23, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
