Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. AGENCY: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is extending the time limit for the final results of the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from South Korea (Korea). In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department may extend the period of time for making its determination by not more than 90 days, if it determines that the review is extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order. A transition order is defined as any antidumping or countervailing duty order which was in effect on January 1, 1995, the date on which the WTO Agreement entered into force with respect to the United States. See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The antidumping duty order subject to this sunset review was issued prior to January 1, 1995, and as such, is a transition order. Therefore, the Department has determined, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, that the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on PET film from Korea is extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time for the Department to complete its analysis. The Department’s final results of this sunset review were scheduled for June 2, 2005. The Department will extend the deadline in this proceeding and, as a result, intends to issue the final results of the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on PET film from Korea on VerDate jul<14>2003 19:11 May 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 Dated: May 19, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Reviews

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending the 
time limits for the final results in the sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from 
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (``the Act''), the Department may 
extend the period of time for making its determination by not more than 
90 days, if it determines that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated. As set forth in 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, the Department 
may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily complicated, if it is a 
review of a transition order. A transition order is defined as any 
antidumping or

countervailing duty order which was in effect on January 1, 1995, the 
date on which the WTO Agreement entered into force with respect to the 
United States. See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. All of the orders 
subject to these sunset reviews were issued prior to January 1, 1995, 
and as such, are transition orders. Specifically, the antidumping duty 
orders on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Japan, Korea, 
and Taiwan were issued on March 15, 1988, February 23, 1993, and June 
16, 1993, respectively. Therefore, the Department has determined, 
pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, that the sunset reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are extraordinarily complicated 
and require additional time for the Department to complete its 
analyses. The Department's final results of these sunset reviews were 
scheduled for June 2, 2005. The Department will extend the deadlines in 
these proceedings and, as a result, intends to issue the final results 
of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan on August 31, 2005, which is 90 
days from the original deadline.
    This notice is issued in accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 
(C)(v) of the Act.
