See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 66 FR 34910 (July 2, 2001). On July 31, 2001, Acciai Speciali Terni S.p.A. (‘‘AST’’), an Italian producer of subject merchandise, its affiliate, Acciai Speciali Terni USA, Inc. (‘‘AST USA’’), a U.S. importer of subject merchandise, and the petitioners from the original investigation requested the Department conduct an administrative review. On August 20, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on subject merchandise, for the period July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 66 FR 43570 (August 20, 2001). The preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due no later than April 2, 2002. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s regulations, the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results within the statutory time limit of 245 days from the date on which the review was initiated. Due to the complexity of issues present in this administrative review, such as home market affiliated downstream sales, constructed export price versus export price, selling expenses, and complicated cost accounting issues, the Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete this review within the original time period provided in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s regulations. Therefore, we are extending the due date for the preliminary results by 90 days, until no later than July 1, 2002. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. February 26, 2002 Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
