Postponements

On September 20, 1993 (58 FR 50331, September 27, 1993), the

Department of Commerce (the Department) issued a notice of the

initiation of antidumping duty investigations of color negative

photographic paper and chemical components thereof from Japan and the

Netherlands. On November 15, 1993, the Department presented Fuji Photo

Film Company Ltd. of Japan and its related U.S. entity, Fuji Photo Film

U.S.A. Inc., (hereinafter referred to collectively as ``Fuji'') with

its antidumping duty questionnaire. On November 19, 1993, the

Department presented Fuji Photo Film B.V. of the Netherlands, Fuji

Photo Film Europe, and their related U.S. entity, Fuji Photo Film

U.S.A. Inc.,(hereinafter referred to collectively as ``Fuji''), with

its antidumping duty questionnaire.

On December 14, 1993, Fuji submitted a statement in support of the

Department postponing the preliminary determinations in these

investigations. On December 23, 1993, Eastman Kodak Company, petitioner

in these investigations, requested that the Department postpone the

preliminary determinations in these investigations pursuant to section

733(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) (19 U.S.C.

1673b(c)(1)) and section 19 CFR 353.15(c). Petitioner made this request

in order to allow the Department time to adequately analyze the complex

responses to be submitted by Fuji in these investigations. We find no

compelling reasons to deny this request. Accordingly, we hereby extend

the due date for the preliminary determinations until not later than

March 29, 1994, which is 210 days after the date of filing of the

petition.

This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act

and 19 CFR 353.15(d).
