SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the 
final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of Wax and 
Wax/Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons from the Republic of Korea from 
February 29, 2004 to March 22, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 22, 2003, the Department published its Notice of 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value: Wax and 
Wax/Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons From the Republic of Korea (68 FR 
71078). The preliminary determination was negative. The notice stated 
that the Department would issue its final determination no later than 
75 days after the date of the preliminary determination (December 16, 
2003).
    Section 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i) allows for a postponement of the 
final determination until not later than 135 days after the date of 
publication of the preliminary determination at the request of the 
petitioner, when the preliminary determination was negative.

Postponement of Final Determination

    On January 23, 2004, the Department received a request from the 
petitioner, International Imaging Materials, Inc. (IIMAK), that the 
Department postpone the final determination until March 22, 2004. IIMAK 
made this request under section 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), which as noted 
above allows the petitioner to request a postponement of the final 
determination if the preliminary determination was negative. There are 
no compelling reasons for the Department to deny petitioner's request. 
Therefore, pursuant to section 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), the Department 
is postponing the deadline for issuing the final determination until 
March 22, 2004.
    This notice of postponement is in accordance with section 
735(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(2).

    Dated: February 5, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
