    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 or finding for which a review is

practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section

Background
    On August 20, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation

April 2, 2002.
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 July 31, 2002. See Decision 
Memorandum from Holly A. Kuga to Bernard T. Carreau, dated concurrently
