The Department subsequently requested, and received from Customs, documentation regarding certain of those entries. We placed these documents on the record of this review on June 22, 2005, and gave parties an opportunity to comment. We received no comments. Based upon Siderca’s explanation and the evidence on the record, we are satisfied that Siderca did not make any consumption entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise during the POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an administrative review, in whole or with respect to a particular exporter or producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the period covered by the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise. Because the evidence shows that there were no entries of OCTG made by Siderca during the POR, the Department is rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published an 
antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (``PVA'') from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') on October 1, 2003. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's Republic of China, 68 FR 
56620 (October 1, 2003). On October 29, 2004, the petitioners\1\ 
requested that the Department conduct an antidumping duty 
administrative review of Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Celanese, Ltd. and E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. 
(collectively ``petitioners'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 19, 2004, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of PVA from the PRC for the period March 20, 
2003, through September 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 67701 (November 19, 
2004).\2\ On June 23, 2005, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice extending the time limit for the preliminary results 
of the administrative review from July 3, 2005, to August 2, 2005. See 
Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review: Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's 
Republic of China, 70 FR 36375 (June 23, 2005). On July 22, 2005, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review 
from August 2, 2005, to September 16, 2005. See Extension of Time Limit 
for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review: Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 
42309 (July 22, 2005). The preliminary results of review are currently 
due no later than September 16, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ We note that the beginning date (i.e., March 20, 2003) of 
the announced period of review (``POR'') was not correct. The 
Department inadvertently published an incorrect beginning date which 
was the date of the preliminary determination of the investigation. 
Because the only respondent in this proceeding had a de minimis rate 
in the preliminary determination, the correct beginning date for the 
POR should have been the date of the final determination in the 
investigation. Thus, the Department corrected the beginning date of 
the POR to reflect the correct POR which is August 11, 2003, through 
September 30, 2004. See Memorandum to the File from Lilit 
Astvatsatrian, Case Analyst, through Robert Bolling, Program 
Manager, dated May 9, 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 issue preliminary results 
in an antidumping 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 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. Completion 
of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is 
not practicable because the Department needs additional time to 
research and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to 
the respondent company's large number of factors of production, 
surrogate values, and to evaluate certain issues raised by the 
petitioners and the respondent company.
    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 review by an additional 45 days 
until October 31, 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.

    Dated: August 30, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
