## The Applicable Statute and Regulations 

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA).

## Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results 

                        Due to the delayed initiation of the Department's cost of production investigation and the additional time required to collect and analyze cost of production data, it is not practicable to complete this review within the time limit currently mandated by section 751 (a)(3)(A) (i.e., October 31, 2000). Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 90 days (                        *i.e.,*                         until January 29, 2001).
