The review covers shipments to the United States during the period March 1, 2003, to February 29, 2004. For the reasons discussed below, we are fully extending the preliminary results of this administrative review by 120 days, to not later than March 31, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 31, 2004, in response to the Department's notice of opportunity to request a review published in the **Federal Register** , CSN requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from Brazil. *See Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel Products from Brazil,* 67 FR 11093 (March 12, 2002). On April 28, 2004, the Department published the notice initiating administrative review of CSN. *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,* 69 FR 23170 (April 28, 2004). The preliminary results are currently due not later than December 1, 2004. Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order for which the administrative review was requested. The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), because of complex cost and further manufacturing issues. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results by 120 days, to not later than March 31, 2005. The deadline for the final results of this review will continue to be 120 days after publication of the preliminary results. Dated: October 1, 2004. Jeffrey A. May, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

Inc. AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the time limit for the final results of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from the People's Republic of China for Shandong Huihe Trade Co. Inc. (Shandong Huihe) by 139 days until no later than December 20, 2004. The period of review is August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003. This extension is made pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). DATES: October 7, 2004.

(202)482-0780 or
(202)482-1391, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Statutory Time Limits Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act requires the Department to issue the final results of a new shipper review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results were issued. However, if the Department determines that the issues are extraordinarily complicated, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to up to 150 days after the date on which the preliminary results were issued. Background On August 12, 2003, the Department received a timely filed request from Shandong Huihe for a new shipper review under the order on petroleum wax candles from the People's Republic of China, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and section 351.214(c) of the Department's regulations. In its request, Shandong Huihe certified that it both produced and exported the petroleum wax candles that are subject to review. On September 30, 2003, the Department initiated this new shipper review for the period August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003. *See Petroleum Wax Candles From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review,* 68 FR 57876 (October 7, 2003). On March 11, 2004, the Department extended the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 120 days until July 26, 2004. *See Petroleum Wax Candles From the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results of New Shipper Review,* 69 FR 12641 (March 17, 2004). On August 3, 2004, the Department issued the preliminary results of this review. *See Petroleum Wax Candles From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review of Shandong Huihe, Ltd.,* 69 FR 46912. Extension of Time Limit for Final Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the final results of a new shipper review if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. The Department has determined that this case is extraordinarily complicated because of the issues that must be addressed pertaining to the *bona fides* of Shandong Huihe's U.S. sale and operations and the relationship between Shandong Huihe and its importer. The Department is also planning to conduct a verification of Shandong Huihe. As a result, the final results of this new shipper review cannot be completed within the statutory time limit of 90 days. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the regulations, the Department is extending the time limit for the completion of final results to 139 days from the date on which the preliminary results were issued. The final results will now be due no later than December 20, 2004. This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: October 1, 2004. Jeffrey A. May, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.
