Background

On March 31, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

received a request from Aceros Camesa, S.A. de C.V. (Camesa) for an

antidumping duty administrative review of carbon steel wire rope from

Mexico. On May 21, 1997, the Department published its initiation of

this antidumping duty administrative review covering the period of

March 1, 1996 through February 28, 1997 (62 FR 27721). Preliminary

results were published on April 7, 1998 (63 FR 16967). A hearing was

held on May 28, 1998.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from

Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for

the Final Results of Review of Steel Wire Rope from Mexico, dated

August 3, 1998, it is not practicable to complete this review within

the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the

Department is extending the time limit for the final results by 30 days

to September 2, 1998.

Dated: August 3, 1998.

Roland L. MacDonald,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
