Postponement of Final Results of Review

On September 25, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

initiated an antidumping administrative review of the antidumping duty

order on gray portland cement and clinker from Mexico (62 FR 50292). On

September 10, 1998, we issued our preliminary results of review (63 FR

48471). The final results of review are currently due January 8, 1998.

Due to an increase in case assignments, we transferred this case, on

October 1, 1998, to another team of Department personnel for

calculation of the final results. This transfer requires time for the

newly assigned team to become familiar with the case. Also, the current

final due date conflicts with several existing deadlines of the new

team. For these reasons, we have determined that completion of the

review within 120 days from the publication of our preliminary results

of review is not currently practicable and, therefore, we are

postponing the deadline for issuing these final results of review until

no later than March 9, 1999.

This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Dated: November 2, 1998.

Susan Kuhbach,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
