Further, we would appreciate it if parties submitting case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and written comments would provide the Department with an additional copy of the public version of any such argument on diskette. The Department will issue final results of this administrative review, including the results of our analysis of the issues in any such case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and written comments or at a hearing, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results. The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates for the merchandise based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales made during the POR to the total customs value of the sales used to calculate those duties. This rate will be assessed uniformly on all entries of that particular importer made during the POR. The Department will issue appropriate appraisement instructions directly to CBP upon completion of the review. Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective upon completion of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of stainless steel butt weld pipe fittings from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate established in the final results of review; (2) For any previously reviewed or investigated company not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the most recent period; (3) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review conducted by the Department, the cash deposit rate will be the ‘‘all others’’ rate from the investigation (21.2 percent). See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value; Certain Welded Stainless Steel Butt Weld Pipe Fittings From Korea, 58 FR 11029 (February 23, 1993). VerDate jul<14>2003 18:15 Mar 04, 2005 Jkt 205001 This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: February 28, 2005. Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published an 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from 
France on July 27, 1999 (see Amended Final Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Order, 64 FR 40562 (July 27, 
1999)). On July 30, 2004, Ugine & ALZ France, S.A., a French producer 
of subject merchandise and petitioners (Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, 
AK Steel, Inc., North American Stainless, United Steelworkers of 
America, AFL-CIO/CLC, Butler Armco Independent Union and Zanesville 
Armco Independent Organization), requested that the Department conduct 
an administrative review. On August 30, 2004, the Department published 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on subject merchandise, for the period July 1, 2003, through 
June 30, 2004 (see Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 52857 
(August 30, 2004)). The preliminary results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than April 2, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the 
Act), the Department shall issue preliminary results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication 
of the order. The Act further provides, however, that the Department 
may extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a 
review from 245 days to 365 days if it determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the preliminary results within the 245-day 
period. See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Due to the complexity of 
issues present in this administrative review, such as home market sales 
to affiliated parties and complicated cost accounting issues, the 
Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the original time period.
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the deadline 
for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days from the last day 
of the anniversary month of the order. For the reasons noted above, we 
are extending the time for the completion of preliminary results until 
no later than August 1, 2005, which is the next business day after 365 
days from the last day of the anniversary month of the date of 
publication of the order. The deadline for the final results of this 
administrative review continues to be 120 days after the publication of 
the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: February 28, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
