Notice of Postponement of Preliminary Determinations of Sales at

Less Than Fair Value: Polyvinyl Alcohol From the People's Republic of

China (PRC) and Taiwan

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger or Everett Kelly,

Office of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington D.C. 20230; telephone (202) 482-4136 or (202) 482-4194,

respectively.

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATIONS: We have determined that

respondent parties to these proceedings are cooperating, thus far, in

these investigations. We also have determined that both cases are

extraordinarily complicated because they are among the first cases

being conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act), as amended by

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. As such, we will have to address a

number of novel legal and methodological issues in the investigations.

Accordingly, additional time is necessary to make the preliminary

determinations. Therefore, pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act

, as amended, we are postponing the date of the preliminary

determinations as to whether sales of polyvinyl alcohol from the PRC

and Taiwan have been made at less than fair value until not later than

October 2, 1995.

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

Dated: July 5, 1995.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
