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 
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 this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does 
not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.

Background

    On February 23, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the preliminary results of the 1999 administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking 
ware from Korea. See Top-of-the-Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware from 
Korea: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review 66 FR 11259 (February 23, 2001).

Extension of Time Limit For Final Determination

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results until no later than August 24, 2001. See Decision Memorandum 
from Holly A. Kuga to Bernard T. Carreau, 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: June 19, 2001.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
