Postponement for Further Evaluation, Targeted Dumping Allegation
The ITA states that the petitioners in this investigation filed a targeted dumping allegation regarding the mandatory respondents, which will involve substantial analysis and deliberations.
Further, the ITA requires additional time to gather more information from all the mandatory respondents in order to identify surrogate values for all factors of production and to gather all information needed to evaluate the separate-rate applications. The ITA also has not yet received all responses to its initial supplemental questionnaires, and thus requires more time to analyze the responses and issue any additional supplemental questionnaires, as needed.
Therefore, for the reasons identified above, the ITA is postponing the preliminary determination by fifty days to January 23, 2008.
