Time Limits

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 February 28, 2000 the Department published a notice of 
initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
Top-of-the-Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware from Korea, covering the 
period January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 (65 FR 10466). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than October 2, 2000.

Extension of 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, we 
are extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results 
until no later than January 30, 2001. See Decision Memorandum from 
Acting Office Director Tom Futtner to Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary 
Holly Kuga, dated concurrently with this notice, which is on file in

intend to issue the final determination no later than 120 days after 
the publication of the preliminary results of review notice.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
