section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),

this case sixty days (64 FR 41382, July 30, 1999). However, the

Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete the

preliminary results of the administrative review within that statutory

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the

Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results

until December 15, 1999.
