SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``Act''), are references to the provisions effective 
January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are 
to the regulations codified at 19 C.F.R. Part 351 (2000).

Background

    On January 8, 2002, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of review of its administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod from 
India. See Stainless Steel Wire Rod From India; Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 67 FR 865 (January 8, 2002) 
(``Preliminary Results''). The final results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than May 8, 2002.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Due to the complexity of issues present in this administrative 
review, such as complicated cost accounting issues, the Department has 
determined that it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the original time period provided in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations. Therefore, 
we are extending the due date for the final results by 30 days, until 
no later than June 7, 2002.

    Dated: May 8, 2002
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
