for all PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise, which have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash–deposit rate will be the PRC– 

wide rate of 70.71 percent; and (4) for 

all non–PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own rate, the cash–deposit rate 

will be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non–PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the review period. Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to comply 

with this requirement could result in 

the Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO as explained in 

the administrative protective order 

itself. Timely written notification of the 

return/destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice of the final results of this 

administrative review is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: January 12, 2009. 

Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Acting Assistant Secretaryfor Import 

Administration.

Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from

Administrative Review

Background 

On July 1, 2008, the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel plate in coils from Belgium with 

respect to Ugine & ALZ Belgium (‘‘U&A 

Belgium’’). See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Request for 

Revocation in Part and Deferral of 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 37409 

(July 1, 2008). The period of review 

(POR) is May 1, 2007 through April 30, 

2008. The preliminary results of this 

review are currently due no later than 

January 31, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to make a preliminary 

determination within 245 days after the 

last day of the anniversary month of an 

order or finding for which a review is 

requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act further states that if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period specified, the 

administering authority may extend the 

245–day period to issue its preliminary 

results by up to 120 days. 

We determine that completion of the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the 245-day period is not practicable for 

the following reasons. This review 

requires the Department to gather and 

analyze a significant amount of 

information pertaining to the company’s 

sales practices, manufacturing costs and 

corporate relationships, which is 

complicated due to recent changes in its 

corporate structure. Furthermore, the 

company subject to this review recently 

converted its accounting system, which 

resulted in a request for additional time 

to submit its questionnaire response to 

the Department. Given the number and 

complexity of issues in this case, and in 

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

the Act, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 120 days. Therefore, 

the preliminary results are now due no 

later than June 1, 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)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: January 13, 2009.
