POSTPONEMENT OF FINAL DETERMINATION: On June 16, 1994 (59 FR 32412, 
32416, June 23, 1994), the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
issued preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty 
investigations of saccharin from the PRC and Korea.
    On July 1, 1994, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the respondents in the PRC 
investigation, Shanghai KJ Import and Export Corporation and Suzhou 
Cereals Import and Export Corporation, requested that the Department 
postpone its final determination in this investigation until 135 days 
after the date of publication of the preliminary determination. On July 
6, 1994, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act the 
petitioner in the Korean investigation, PMC Specialties Group, also 
requested that the Department postpone its final determination in that 
investigation until 135 days after the date of publication of the 
preliminary determination. Under section 735(a)(2) of the Act and 
Sec. 353.20(b) of the Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.20(b)) if, 
subsequent to the preliminary determination, the Department receives a 
request for postponement of the final determination from the party 
adversely affected by the determination, the Department will, absent 
compelling reasons for denial, grant the request. Accordingly, we are 
postponing our final determinations in these investigations until 
November 7, 1994.

therefore, under 19 CFR 353.38(f), we will hold public hearings to
