Postponement of Final Results of Administrative Review: The Department published the preliminary results of the 1999-2000 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on extruded rubber thread from Malaysia on November 6, 2001 (66 FR 56057). The current deadline for the final results in this review is March 6, 2002. We must conduct sales and cost verifications of the information provided by the respondents. Due to scheduling problems with one of the companies participating in this review, we are unable to complete verification before March 2002. Because we need additional time for verification, we have extended the deadline until May 6, 2002.

This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
