Postponement Requested For Complicated Investigations
The ITA states that the petitioners requested postponement of the preliminary determinations in the investigations because the investigations are extraordinarily complicated given the number of concurrent investigations of the subject merchandise, the complexity of the transactions to be investigated, and the novelty of the issues presented including targeted dumping and the offset of positive margins by negative margins.
For the reasons identified by the petitioners and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the ITA is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determinations with respect to Mexico, Turkey, and Korea by 50 days to January 23, 2008.
The deadline for the final determinations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determinations, unless extended.
