Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 170 / Friday, September 2, 2005 / Notices Background On December 12, 2003, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published an antidumping duty order on certain malleable iron pipe fittings from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China, 68 FR 69376. On December 30, 2004, the petitioners1 requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of Beijing Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co. Ltd, Langfang Pannext Pipe Fittings Co., Ltd., Chengde Malleable Iron General Factory, and SCE Co., Ltd for the period December 2, 2003, through November 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 2005). The preliminary results of review are currently due no later than September 2, 2005. Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department shall make a preliminary determination 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 that 245-day period to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. We find that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results in this administrative review because additional time is needed to analyze a significant amount of information regarding to each company’s factors of production and corresponding surrogate values, and to review responses to supplemental questionnaires from two pro se respondents. Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this review by an additional 105 days until December 16, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. 1 Anvil International, Inc. And Ward Manufacturing, Inc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Title V of the Trade and Development Act of 2000 (the Act) created 
two tariff rate quotas (TRQs), providing for temporary reductions in 
the import duties on limited quantities of two categories of worsted 
wool fabrics suitable for use in making suits, suit-type jackets, or 
trousers: (1) for worsted wool fabric with average fiber diameters 
greater than 18.5 microns (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTS) heading 9902.51.11); and (2) for worsted wool fabric with 
average fiber diameters of 18.5 microns or less (HTS heading 
9902.51.12). On August 6, 2002, President Bush signed into law the 
Trade Act of 2002, which includes several amendments to Title V of the 
Act. On December 3, 2004, the Act was further amended pursuant to the 
Miscellaneous Trade Act of 2004, Public Law 108-429, by extending the 
program through 2007 and increasing the TRQ for worsted wool fabric 
with average fiber diameters greater than 18.5 microns, HTS 9902.51.11, 
to an annual total level of 5.5 million square meters, and the TRQ for 
average fiber diameters of 18.5 microns or less, HTS 9902.51.15 
(previously 9902.51.12), to an annual total level of 5 million square 
meters.
    The Act requires that the TRQs be allocated to persons who cut and 
sew men's and boys' worsted wool suits, suit-type jackets and trousers 
in the United States. On May 16, 2005, the Department published 
regulations establishing procedures for allocating the TRQ. 70 FR 
25774, 15 CFR 335. In order to be eligible for an allocation, an 
applicant must submit an application on the form provided at https://
web.ita.doc.gov/tacgi/wooltrq.nsf/TRQApp to the address listed above by 
5 p.m. on October 3, 2005 in compliance with the requirements of 15 CFR 
335. Any business confidential information that is marked business 
confidential will be kept confidential and protected from disclosure to 
the full extent permitted by law
