SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 25, 1996, the Department initiated

this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on

ferrosilicon from Brazil. The current time limits are December 2, 1996

for the preliminary results and March 31, 1997 for the final results.

Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the

original time limits as mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff

Act of 1930 (as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act), the

Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to

April 1, 1997. Accordingly, we will issue the final results by 120 days

from the date of publication of the preliminary results.

These extensions are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the

Act.
