the purposes of determining critical 

circumstances. Therefore, for the 

reasons expressed above with respect to 

the PRC-wide entity, we determine that 

the increase in imports from Guangling 

were massive during the applicable 

relatively short period of time.

We preliminarily determine for the 

RSM companies and Jiangsu that no 

critical circumstances exist because we 

do not find massive imports over a 

relatively short period.

We will issue a final determination 

concerning critical circumstances for all 

producers/exporters of subject 

merchandise from the PRC when we 

issue our final determination in this 

investigation, which will be on February 

16, 2005.

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration no 

later than three days after the 

publication of the preliminary 

determination of critical circumstances 

in this proceeding. Rebuttal briefs 

limited to issues raised in the 

aforementioned case briefs will be due 

no later than two days after the deadline 

date for case briefs.

Suspension of Liquidation

With respect to Tianjin, Guangling 

and the PRC-wide entity for magnesium 

metal we will direct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to suspend 

liquidation of all unliquidated entries of 

magnesium metal from the PRC that 

were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

90 days prior to the date of publication 

in the Federal Register of our 

preliminary determination in these 

investigation. In accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act, with respect 

to the RSM companies and Jiangsu, we 

will make no changes to our 

instructions to the CBP with respect to 

the suspension of liquidation of all 

entries of subject merchandise entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of our preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register.

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with Sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: January 28, 2005.

Statutory Time Limits 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) to issue the preliminary 

results of an administrative review 

within 245 days after the last day of the 

anniversary month of an order for which 

a review is requested and a final 

determination within 120 days after the 

date on which the preliminary results 

are published. If it is not practicable to 

complete the review within the time 

period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

allows the Department to extend these 

deadlines to a maximum of 365 days 

and 180 days, respectively. 

Background 

On June 30, 2004, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

polyester staple fiber (‘‘PSF’’) from 

Korea, covering the period May 1, 2003, 

through April 30, 2004 (69 FR 39409). 

The preliminary results for the 

antidumping duty administrative review 

of certain PSF from Korea are currently 

due no later than January 31, 2005. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Because the Department requires 

additional time to review and analyze 

the supplemental questionnaire 

response, it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the 

originally anticipated time limit (i.e., 

January 31, 2005). Therefore, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for completion of the preliminary 

results to not later than May 31, 2005, 

in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: January 28, 2005.
