SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On June 21, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the initiation of the antidumping duty investigations of 
imports of diamond sawblades and parts thereof from the People's 
Republic of China and the Republic of Korea. See Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty Investigations: Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea, 70 FR 
35625 (June 21, 2005). The notice of initiation stated that the 
Department would make its preliminary determinations for these 
antidumping duty investigations no later than 140 days after the date 
of issuance of the initiation.
    On September 26, 2005, the Diamond Sawblade Manufacturers' 
Coalition and its individual members (``Petitioners'') made timely 
requests pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a fifty-day postponement of 
these preliminary determinations, until December 20, 2005. Petitioners 
requested postponement of these preliminary determinations to allow the 
Department additional time in which to review the responses and issue 
requests for clarification and additional information.
    For the reasons identified by the Petitioners, and because there 
are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is 
postponing these preliminary determinations under section 733(c)(1)(A) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), by fifty days to 
December 20, 2005. The deadline for these final determinations will 
continue to be 75 days after the date of these preliminary 
determinations, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: October 6, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
