The Department, therefore, is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the aforementioned review by 90 days to January 29, 1999. See memorandum from Holly A. Kuga to Robert S. LaRussa, September 21, 1998, on file in Room B-099. The deadline for the final results of these reviews will continue to be 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.
