Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act states that if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time specified, the 
administering authority may extend the 120-day period, following the 
date of publication of the preliminary results, to issue its final 
results by an additional 60 days. Completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable for the following reasons:
    [sbull] This review involves certain complex issues which were 
raised by petitioners after the verification and after the preliminary 
results of review.
    [sbull] The review involves a large number of transactions and 
complex adjustments.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review by 30 days until December 6, 2002.

    Dated: September 26, 2002.
