SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) require the Department to issue the preliminary determination in an AD investigation no later than 140 days after the date on which the Department initiated the investigation. Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2), the Department concludes that because of the extraordinary complexity of this case and the number of firms whose activities we must investigate, including over 80 separate rate applications, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary determination by the current deadline. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2), the Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination to no later than 190 days after the date on which it initiated this investigation. As a result of this postponement, the deadline for completion of the Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order includes certain magnesia carbon bricks. Certain magnesia carbon bricks that are the subject of this order are currently classifiable under subheadings 6902.10.1000, 6902.10.5000, 6815.91.0000, 6815.99.2000 and 6815.99.4000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).

On January 31, 2014, Petitioner and Magnesita timely withdrew their request for an administrative review for all but two companies.6 Because ANH did not withdraw its request for review for three companies, requests for review for a total of five companies remain.
