Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an 
order/finding for which a review is requested and the final results 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
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 results to a 
maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an 
order/finding for which a review is requested and for the final results 
to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time

Background

preliminary results are currently due no later than May 3, 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 for the reasons 
stated in our memorandum from Gary Taverman to Bernard Carreau, dated 
April 30, 2002, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-
099 of the main Commerce building. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results 
until no later than May 24, 2002. We intend to issue the final results 
no later than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results 
notice.This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for for AD/CVD Enforcement II.
