The Applicable Statute

Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

The Department of Commerce has received a request to conduct an

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on industrial

nitrocellulose from the United Kingdom. On August 28, 1997, the

Department initiated this administrative review covering the period

July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997. On February 4, 1998 the Department

extended the time limits for the preliminary results to June 1, 1998.

Because of the complexity of certain issues concerning the

Department's policy with respect to selling activities in the United

States, it is not practicable to complete this review within the time

limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Memorandum from

Joseph Spetrini to Robert LaRussa, Re: Extension of Time Limit for

Administrative Review of Industrial Nitrocellulose from the United

Kingdom, May 21, 1998). Therefore, in accordance with that section, the

Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to

July 31, 1998, and for the final results to 120 days after the

publication of the preliminary results. These extensions of time limits

are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Dated: May 26, 1998.

Roland L. MacDonald,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
