Time Limits
Statutory Time Limits
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order/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 the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days and for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of the publication of the preliminary results.
Background
On November 30, 1998, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain iron-metal castings from India, covering the period January 1, 1997, through December 31, 1997 (63 FR 65748). On November 12, 1999, (64 FR 61592), we published the preliminary results of review. In our notice of preliminary results, we stated our intention to issue the final results of this review no later than March 13, 2000.
Extension of Final Results of Review
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore the Department is extending the time limits for completion of the final results until no later than May 10, 2000. See Decision Memorandum from John Brinkman to Holly A. Kuga, dated March 13, 2000, which is on file in the Central Records Unit.
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Dated: March 13, 2000. Holly A. Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group II.
