SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On October 18, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') initiated the antidumping duty investigation of raw 
flexible magnets from the People's Republic of China. See Notice of 
Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations: Raw Flexible Magnets 
from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, 72 FR 59071 (July 24, 
2007) (``Initiation Notice''). The notice of initiation stated that, 
unless postponed, the Department would make its preliminary 
determination in these antidumping duty investigations no later than 
140 days after the date of the initiation. See Initiation Notice.
    On January 16, 2008, Magnum Magnetics Corporation (``Petitioner'') 
made a timely request pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a fifty-day 
postponement of the preliminary determination in this investigation. 
Petitioner requested postponement of the preliminary determination 
because of the complexity of the case, the Department's unfamiliarity 
with the industry, and the difficult time schedule ahead.For the 
reasons identified by the Petitioner, and because there are no 
compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is postponing 
the preliminary determination under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), by fifty days from February 29, 
2008 to April 19, 2008. However, as that date falls on a Saturday, the 
preliminary determination will be due no later than the next business 
day, Monday, April 21, 2008. The deadline for the final determination 
will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary 
determination, 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: January 24, 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
