SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 7, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India covering the 
period February 1, 2003, through January 31, 2004 (70 FR 10977). The 
final results for the antidumping duty administrative review of 
stainless steel bar from India are currently due no later than July 5, 
2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``the Act''), requires the Department to 
issue the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of an antidumping duty 
order for which a review is requested and issue the final results 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 
days, respectively.
    On March 28, 2005, the sole respondent in this proceeding, Chandan 
Steel, Ltd. (``Chandan''), submitted new factual information that 
included previously unreported sales of the subject merchandise to the 
United States five days prior to the scheduled sales and cost 
verification. This information was significant to the Department's 
conduct of verification and understood fully before the Department 
could conduct verification and as a result, the Department postponed 
the verification. On May 12, 2005, the Department rejected the March 
28, 2005, submission because we determined that the new information 
contained in the submission represented new and untimely filed factual 
information. See Letter from Susan H. Kuhbach to Peter Koenig, dated 
May 12, 2005.
    In accordance with 782(i)(3) of the Act, the Department must still 
conduct the verification and issue the verification findings. 
Therefore, we find that it is not practicable to complete this review 
within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by July 5, 2005). 
Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion 
of the final results to no later than August 25, 2005, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 24, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
