Extension of Time Limits for Final

Results

The Department of Commerce (the

Department) has received requests to

conduct administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on antifriction

bearings (other than tapered roller

bearings) and parts thereof (AFBs) from

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden,

and the United Kingdom. On July 7,

2000, the Department initiated these

administrative reviews covering the

period May 1, 1999, through December

31, 1999, for certain orders and May 1,

1999, through April 30, 2000, for other

orders.

Because of the complexity of certain

issues which have arisen and the large

number of respondents under review, it

is not practicable to complete these

reviews within the time limits

mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Therefore, in accordance with that

section, the Department is extending the

time limit for the final results of these

administrative reviews until July 5,

2001. This extension of the time limit is

in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A)

of the Act.

Dated: June 5, 2001.

Richard W. Moreland,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review: Stainless Steel Wire Rod from

Taiwan

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

U.S. Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: In response to a request by a

producer/exporter of the subject

merchandise, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) is

conducting an administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on stainless

steel wire rod (SSWR) from Taiwan.

This review covers one producer/

exporter of the subject merchandise.

The period of review (POR) is

September 1, 1999, through August 31,

2000.

We preliminarily determine that sales

have been made below normal value

(NV). If these preliminary results are

adopted in our final results, we will

instruct the U.S. Customs Service to

assess antidumping duties based on the

difference between the export price (EP)

and the NV.

Interested parties are invited to

comment on the preliminary results.

Parties who submit arguments are

requested to submit with each

argument: (1) A statement of the issue

and (2) a brief summary of the

argument. Further, we would appreciate

parties submitting written comments to

provide the Department with an

additional copy of the public version of

any such comments on diskette.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 12, 2001.

Case History

On September 15, 1998, the

Department issued an antidumping duty

order on SSWR from Taiwan. See Notice

of Amendment of Final Determination

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and

Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless

Steel Wire Rod From Taiwan, 63 FR

49332 (September 15, 1998) (Amended

Final Determination and Order). On

September 20, 2000, we published in

the Federal Register the notice of

opportunity to request an administrative

review of this order. See Antidumping

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,

or Suspended Investigation;

Opportunity to Request Administrative

Review, 65 FR 56868 (September 20,

2000).

On September 26, 2000, Walsin Lihwa

Corporation (Walsin) requested that the

Department conduct an administrative

review for the period from September 1,

1999, through August 31, 2000.

On October 30, 2000, we published

the notice of initiation of this

antidumping duty administrative

review, covering the period September

1, 1999, through August 31, 2000. See

Initiation of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Reviews, Requests for Revocation in Part

and Deferral of Administrative Review,

65 FR 64662 (October 30, 2000).

On October 20, 2000, we issued an

antidumping questionnaire to Walsin.

The Department received Walsin’s

response in December 2000. We issued

supplemental questionnaires to Walsin

in January, March, April and May 2001,

and received responses from Walsin in

February, March, April and May 2001.

In its March 30, 2001 supplemental

questionnaire response, Walsin

requested that it not be required to

report an insignificant amount of sales

made in Taiwan by its Shape, Pipe and

Special Products Business Unit during

the POR. On April 17, 2001, we granted

this request.

Scope of the Review

For purposes of this review, SSWR

comprises products that are hot-rolled

or hot-rolled annealed and/or pickled

and/or descaled rounds, squares,
