Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings From Brazil and Thailand:

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of

five-year (``sunset'') reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending

the time limit for the preliminary results of the sunset reviews on the

antidumping duty orders on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

Brazil and Thailand. Based on adequate responses from domestic and

respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting full sunset

reviews to determine whether revocation of these orders would be likely

to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. As a result of this

extension, the Department intends to issue its preliminary results not

later than July 23, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 3, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jason M. Appelbaum or Melissa G.

Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5050, or (202) 482-1560

respectively.

Extension of Preliminary Results

The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

Brazil and Thailand are extraordinarily complicated. In accordance with

section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

Act''), the Department may treat a review as extraordinarily

complicated if it is a review of a transition order (i.e., an order in

effect on January 1, 1995). See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The

Department is extending the time limit for completion of the

preliminary results of these reviews until not later than July 23,

1999, in accordance with

[[Page 23599]]

section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The final results of these reviews

will, therefore, be due not later than November 30, 1999.

Dated: April 26, 1999.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
