Information
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 determination
to a maximum of 365 days and for the final determination to 180 days
(or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the
preliminary determination) from the date of publication of the
preliminary determination.
Background
On January 25, 1999, the Department published a notice of
initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
silicomanganese from the People's Republic of China, covering the
period December 1, 1997 through November 30, 1998 (64 FR 3682). On
November 8, 1999, we published the preliminary results of review (64 FR
60784). In our notice of preliminary results, we stated our intention
to issue the final results of this review no later than March 7, 2000.
Extension of Final Results of Review
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore we are
extending the time limits for completion of the final results until no
later than May 6, 2000. See Decision Memorandum from Holly A. Kuga to
Robert S. LaRussa, dated December 17, 1999, which is on file in the
Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building.
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Dated: January 5, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
