Information:

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department of Commerce (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 the time period, 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 June 30, 1999, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on DRAMs from 
the Republic of Korea, covering the period May 1, 1998 through April 
30, 1999, (64 FR 35124). On June 6, 2000, (65 FR 35886), we published 
the preliminary results of review. In our notice of preliminary 
results, we stated our intention to issue the final results of this 
review no later than October 4, 2000.

Extension of Final Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this

review within the original time limit. Therefore we are extending the 
time limits for completion of the final results until no later than 
November 3, 2000. See Decision Memorandum from Thomas F. Futtner to 
Holly A. Kuga, dated concurrently with this notice, which is on file in 
the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: July 28, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
