The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are

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.

Because of the complexity of certain issues in this case, 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). Therefore, in

accordance with that section and 19 CFR 351.213(g)(2), the Department

is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to June 1,

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 and 19 CFR

351.213(g)(2).

Dated: February 5, 1998.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
