Time Limits

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an 
order/finding for which a review is requested and a final determination 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination 
is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a 
maximum of 365 days and for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days 
if the Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary 
results) from the date of publication of the preliminary results.

Background

    On April 30, 1999, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Steel Wire 
Rope from the Republic of Korea, covering the period March 1, 1998 
through February 28, 1999 (64 FR 23269). The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than December 1, 1999.

Extension of Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results until no later than March 30, 2000. See Decision 
Memorandum from Bernard T. Carreau to Robert S. LaRussa, dated November 
1, 1999, which is on file in the Central Records Unit. We intend to 
issue the final results no later than 120 days after the publication of 
the preliminary results notice.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: November 4, 1999.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration, Group II.
