(March 6, 2003).

Extension Of Time Limits For Final Results Of Review:

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete its final results of review 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results were 
published. However, the Department may extend the deadline for 
completion of an administrative review if it determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit. 
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 
deadline for completion of the final results to 180 days from the date 
of publication of the preliminary results. As a result of the complex 
issues involved in this review, it is not practicable to complete this 
review by July 7, 2003, and we are extending the time limit for one 
month, to August 7, 2003. See Memorandum from Thomas F. Futtner, Acting 
Office Director, to Holly A. Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, 
dated concurrently with this notice, which is on file in the Central 
Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce building. This notice is 
published in accordance with section 735(a)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(g).
