Extension of Final Results

On April 1, 2004, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders of FCOJ from Brazil and SSPC from Belgium, Italy, and Korea. See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 17129 (April 1, 2004). In these proceedings, the Department determined that it would conduct expedited sunset reviews of these orders based on responses from the domestic and respondent interested parties to the notice of initiations. The Department's final results of these reviews were originally scheduled for July 30, 2004.

In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), the Department may treat sunset reviews as extraordinarily complicated if the issues to be considered are complex. In these reviews, the Department is analyzing the magnitude of dumping margins likely to prevail for several companies from multiple countries and additional issues surrounding import volume. Because the Department has determined that these issues are complex according to 751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act, we are extending the deadline for issuance of the final results. The Department intends to issue the final results on or about August 30, 2004 in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
