    Time Limits

    Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department of Commerce (the Department) to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order or 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 these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 245-day time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days and the time limit 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 April 30, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on iron construction castings from Canada, covering the period March 1, 2000 through February, 2001. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews 66 FR 21310. The preliminary results are currently due no later than December 1, 2001.

    Extension of Time Limit for 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 31, 2002. See Decision Memorandum from Holly A. Kuga to Bernard T. Carreau, dated concurrently with this notice, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Department's main building. 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.
