Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determination;

Coumarin From the People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 25, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger or Michelle A.

Frederick, Office of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration,

International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone:

202-482-4136 or 202-482-0186, respectively.

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: On January 27, 1994, the

Department initiated an antidumping duty investigation of coumarin from

the PRC (59 FR 3841, January 27, 1994). The preliminary determination

was scheduled for June 8, 1994.

Due to the large number and difficulty identifying the companies

involved in this investigation as well as the complex issues raised by

the PRC's non-market economy status, additional time is required to

make the preliminary determination. For these reasons coupled with the

fact that most parties are cooperating, in accordance with section

733(c)(1)(B)(i)(II) and (III) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, we

determine that this investigation is extraordinarily complicated and

that additional time is needed. Therefore, in accordance with section

733(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, we are postponing the preliminary

determination until no later than July 28, 1994. This notice is

published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.15

(b)(3) and (d).

Dated: April 13, 1994.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
