Postponement of Final Determination

We have determined to extend the final determination based on a

request by respondents that, should the preliminary determination be

affirmative, the Department extend the due date for the final

determination by 45 days. The respondents requesting the extension

account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject

merchandise, and the preliminary determination was affirmative.

extending the final determination.

The deadline for issuing the final determination in this case is

now no later than July 24, 1997.

This notice is published pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act.

Dated: March 27, 1997.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
