The review covers the following 10 Indian producers during the period from May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009:

The new deadline for the preliminary results of this review is May 3, 2010. The previous deadline was January 31, 2010.
 
The DOC stated that the reason for the extension was to allow it additional time to analyze a number of complex cost-accounting and corporate-affiliation issues that have been raised by the parties to this review.
