Because of the complexity of certain issues and the large number of respondents in the review, it is not practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of this administrative review until March 3, 2003.
