Postponement

On June 1, 1995, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')

initiated countervailing duty investigations of certain pasta from

Italy and Turkey. Respondents in both cases have indicated that they

will be cooperating in these investigations. In addition, in both

cases, the number of alleged countervailable subsidy practices and the

number of firms whose activities must be investigated are substantial.

Accordingly, we deem these investigations to be extraordinarily

complicated. Therefore, pursuant to section 703(c)(1) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), we are postponing the preliminary

determinations in these investigations until no later than October 10,

1995.

This notice is published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act.

Dated: July 5, 1995.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
