Time Limits

Statutory Time Limits

    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/finding for which a review is requested and a final determination 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination 
is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination 
to a maximum of 365 days and for the final determination to 180 days 
(or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the 
preliminary determination) from the date of publication of the 
preliminary determination.

Background

    On July 29, 1999, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on tapered 
roller bearings and parts thereof, finished or unfinished, from 
Hungary, covering the period June 1, 1998 through May 31, 1999 (64 FR 
41075). The preliminary results are currently due no later than 
February 29, 2000.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results until no later than June 28, 2000. See Decision 
Memorandum from Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini, dated February 
25, 2000, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of 
the main Commerce building. We intend to issue the final results no 
later than 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results 
notice.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: February 25, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
