Postponement of Preliminary Results of Review

On November 28, 1997, the Department initiated this new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the PRC (62

FR 64206, December 4, 1997). The current deadline for the preliminary

results is May 27, 1998. We determine that it is not practicable to

complete this review within the original time frame because of the

large number of respondents. 1 In accordance with Section

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Trade and Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)), the

Department finds this new shipper review extraordinarily complicated

and is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary

results until September 24, 1998, which is 300 days after the date on

which the new shipper review was initiated.
