The Department of Commerce (the Department) finds that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this changed circumstances review within the original time frame as it would be impossible to consider the parties comments and to complete the final results of this changed circumstances review within the original time frame. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final results of this changed circumstances review by 31 days to August 17, 2009.
