SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the

preliminary results for the new shipper administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India. The period of

review is February 1, 1996, through January 31, 1997. The review covers

two producers/exporters of the subject merchandise (i.e. Ferro Alloys

Corporation Limited and Panchmahal Steels Limited). This extension is

made pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act (``the Act'') and the Department's regulations as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Commerce (``the

Department'') initiated this new shipper administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India on March 28,

1997 (62 FR 14886). The current deadline for the preliminary results in

September 16, 1997. Pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22 (h)(7), the Department

has determined that this case is extraordinarily complicated and as

such is extending the deadline for issuing the preliminary results.

This extension is necessary to provide the Department additional time

to consider the appropriate date of sale.

In accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(h)(7), the Department will extend

the time for completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper

review to no later that January 14, 1998. We plan to issue the final

results within 90 days after the date of the preliminary results are

issued.

Dated: September 11, 1997.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement.
