Background
On June 19, 1997 (62 FR 33394), the Department initiated an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on dynamic random
access memory semiconductors of one megabit or above from the Republic
of Korea, covering the period May 1, 1996 through April 30, 1997. On
March 9, 1998, the Department published the preliminary determination
in this review.
Postponent of Final Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to make 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) allows the Department to extend this time period to 180
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is
published.
Because of the complexity of the issues involved in this review, we
determine that it is not practicable to complete this review within the
original time frame.
Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the final results of this
review will be no later than 180 days from the publication of the
preliminary determination (September 8, 1998).
Dated: July 2, 1998.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
