Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable 
to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final 
results up to 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary 
results.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within current statutory limits. The Department 
requires additional time to evaluate the extensive comments provided by 
parties on the level of trade issue. Therefore, we are extending the 
deadline for the final results of this review by 35 days, until not 
later than December 12, 2008, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 17, 2008.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
