    In accordance with section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, (the Act), exporters in each of these investigations requested 
that the Department postpone its final determination until 135 days 
after the date of publication of the preliminary determination. Under 
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act the Department may postpone, subsequent 
to an affirmative preliminary determination, if the Department receives 
a request for postponement of the final determination from exporters 
who account for a significant proportion of exports of the merchandise 
which is the subject of the investigation. Accordingly, we are 
postponing our final determinations in these investigations until 
February 22, 1996.
