Background
On June 29, 1998 (63 FR 35188), the Department initiated an administrative review of the antidumping order on DRAMs from the Republic of Korea, covering the period May 1, 1997 through April 30, 1998.
Postponement of Preliminary Result of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 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 the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) allows the Department to extend this time period to 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the original time frame because of the complexity of the legal and methodological issues involved in this review (see January 4, 1999 Memorandum from Holly Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary to Robert LaRussa, Assistant Secretary). Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this review is now due no later than June 1, 1999. The deadline for issuing the final results of this review will be no later than 120 days from the publication of the preliminary results.
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)(3)(A)).
Dated: January 13, 1999. Holly Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Group II.
