SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 26, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on stainless 
steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan and Taiwan, covering the 
period July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 50308 
(August 26, 2008).

[[Page 10886]]

The preliminary results for these administrative reviews are currently 
due no later than April 2, 2009.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``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 order for which a review is requested and a 
final determination within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. 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.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time frame 
because additional information from the respondents is necessary to 
complete our analysis and we will not have sufficient time to obtain 
and analyze the new information prior to the current deadline for the 
preliminary results (i.e., 245 days). Furthermore, we require 
additional time to conduct verifications in the review of stainless 
steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 
120 days, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The 
preliminary results are now due no later than July 31, 2009. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 9, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
