This administrative review covers two mandatory respondents and one voluntary respondent, and to conduct the sales and factor analyses for each company and their numerous suppliers requires the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each respondent’s sales practices and manufacturing methods. Moreover, the Department requires additional time to analyze complicated affiliation issues. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for issuing the preliminary results by 120 days until April 30, 2009. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
