Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

Act allows the Department to extend this deadline to a maximum of 180

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    The Department requires additional time to complete this review 
because it conducted sales and cost verifications after the Preliminary 
Results. The Department needs to allow time for parties to brief any 
issues and for the Department to consider all the issues raised,

extending the time limit for completion of the final results by 60 days 
to March 21, 2009, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations. However, 
March 21, 2009, falls on a Saturday and it is the Department's long-
standing practice to issue a determination the next business day when 
the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any 
other day when the Department is closed. See Notice of Clarification:

Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended,
