POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: On November 18, 1998, the 
Department initiated the antidumping duty investigation of imports of 
DRAMs from Taiwan. The notice of initiation stated that we would issue 
our preliminary determination by April 1, 1999 (63 FR 60404, November 
18, 1998).
    On February 18, 1999, petitioner, Micron Technology, Inc., made a 
timely request pursuant to19 CFR 351.205(e) of the Department's 
regulations for a postponement of the preliminary determination, 
pursuant to section 733(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act). Petitioner requested a postponement in order to allow 
additional time for the Department to analyze the anticipated 
voluminous, and unusually complex, sales and cost of production issues 
in this investigation.
    For the reasons identified by petitioner, we are postponing the 
preliminary determination under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act (See 
memorandum from Holly Kuga to Robert LaRussa, dated February 26, 1999). 
We will make our preliminary determination no later than May 21, 1999.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.205(f).

    Dated: February 26, 1999.
Holly Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II, AD/CVD Enforcement, Import 
Administration.
