Postponement
On February 14, 1994, the petitioners in the above-referenced
investigation requested that the Department postpone its preliminary
determination until April 11, 1994, in order to permit further analysis
of the respondent's questionnaire responses. On February 22, 1994, the
respondent in this investigation objected to the aforementioned
extension based on its belief that the nature of the investigation is
not such that an extension is necessary. In a February 23, 1994,
letter, petitioners amended their request to ask that the preliminary
determination in this investigation be postponed until May 20, 1994,
stating that a postponement was necessary to permit them to determine
whether the record contained evidence to support an allegation that
home market sales were made at prices below the allegation that home
market sales were made at prices below the cost of production under
section 773(b) of the Trade and Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act) (19 U.S.C. 1677b(b)). In accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(c)(1)(A)) and 19 CFR 353.15(c), we find no
compelling reasons to deny the request and are, accordingly, postponing
the date of the preliminary determination until May 20, 1994.
This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 353.15(d).
Dated: March 3, 1994.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
