All submissions in these sunset

and certification of documents. These
regulations can be found at 19 CFR

check the Department’s sunset Web site

will delete from the service list all

Because deadlines in a sunset review
are, in many instances, very short, we
urge interested parties to apply for
access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
immediately following publication in

Information Required From Interested
Parties
Domestic interested parties (defined
in sections 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), and
(G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b))
wishing to participate in these sunset
reviews must respond not later than 15
days after the date of publication in the
Federal Register of the notice of
initiation by filing a notice of intent to
participate. The required contents of the
notice of intent to participate are set
forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii). In
accordance with the Department’s
regulations, if we do not receive a notice
of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day
deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the orders without
further review. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii).
If we receive an order-specific notice
of intent to participate from a domestic
interested party, the Department’s
regulations provide that all parties
wishing to participate in the sunset
review must file complete substantive
responses not later than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive
response, on an order-specific basis, are
set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note
that certain information requirements
differ for respondent and domestic
parties. Also, note that the Department’s
information requirements are distinct
from the International Trade
Commission’s information
requirements. Please consult the
Department’s regulations for
information regarding the Department’s
conduct of sunset reviews.1 Please
consult the Department’s regulations at
19 CFR Part 351 for definitions of terms
and for other general information
concerning antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings at the
Department.
This notice of initiation is being
published in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
1 In comments made on the interim final sunset
regulations, a number of parties stated that the
proposed five-day period for rebuttals to
substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the
final sunset regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As
provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b), however, the
Department will consider individual requests for
extension of that five-day deadline based upon a
showing of good cause.

AGENCY:
Background
On June 30, 2004, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice of initiation of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain softwood lumber products
from Canada, covering the period May
1, 2003, through April 30, 2004. See
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR
39409 (June 30, 2004). The preliminary
results are currently due no later than
January 31, 2005. The review covers
over four hundred producers/exporters
of subject merchandise to the United
States, of which eight are being
individually examined.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department of Commerce (the
Department) to complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order/
finding for which a review is requested.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within these time
periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary results to
a maximum of 365 days after the last
day of the anniversary month of an
order/finding for which a review is
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703

requested. We determine that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this review within the original
time limit due to a number of complex
issues which must be addressed prior to
the issuance of those results. For
example, the Department must analyze
the complex corporate structures and
affiliations of the eight respondents in
this review, including affiliated mills
and other entities both in Canada and
the United States. In addition, as is our
practice, the Department intends to
conduct verification of a number of the
respondents prior to the issuance of the
preliminary results. We estimate that
the sales and cost of production
verifications will take approximately
two months to complete.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results of this
administrative review until no later than
June 1, 2005. We intend to issue the
final results no later than 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results
notice.
Dated: December 27, 2004.
