Petitioner Requested Postponement Due to Complexity of Investigation
The ITA finds that this investigation is extraordinarily complicated and it requires additional time to: gather information from an additional mandatory respondent; gather more information from all mandatory respondents regarding the sales process, affiliations, establishing the proper date of sale, surrogate values for all factors of production, and the methodology used to report factors of production; evaluate the separate rate applications; and analyze the responses and issue any additional supplemental questionnaires, as needed.
Therefore, for these reasons, the ITA is postponing the preliminary determination under by fifty days to February 26, 2009 (from January 7).
