(Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 30874 (June 1, 

2004). The Department, in this 

proceeding, determined that it would 

conduct an expedited sunset review of 

this order based on inadequate 

responses to the notice of initiation from 

respondent interested parties. The 

Department’s final results of this review 

was originally scheduled for September 

29, 2004 and was rescheduled for 

November 15, 2004. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(B) of the 

Act, the administrating authority may 

extend the period for issuing final 

results by not more than 90 days if the 

administrating authority determines that 

a sunset review is extraordinarily 

complicated. A review may be treated as 

extraordinarily complicated if the issues 

to be considered are complex. Section 

751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act. In this instant 

review, the Department, needs 

additional time to consider complex 

issues related to the appropriate net 

countervailable subsidy rate likely to 

prevail if the order is revoked, which 

the Department will provide to the 

International Trade Commission. Thus, 

the Department intends to issue the 

final results on or about December 10, 

2004, in accordance with sections 

751(c)(5)(B) and 751(c)(5)(C)(i), (ii) and 

(iii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended.

Dated: November 15, 2004.
