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.
