amended, (the Act), on July 13, 2001, the petitioners filed a request 
that the Department postpone the preliminary determination in this 
investigation by two weeks. The petitioners' request for postponement 
was timely, and the Department finds no compelling reason to deny the 
request. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(c)(1) of the Act, 
the Department is postponing the deadline for issuing this preliminary 
determination until September 24, 2001.
    This postponement is in accordance with section 733(c) of the Act
