AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of five-

year (``Sunset'') reviews.

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

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

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

antidumping duty orders on steel wire rope from Japan, shop towels from

the People's Republic of China, shop towels from Bangladesh, candles

from the People's Republic of China, steel wire rope from Mexico, steel

wire rope from South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Taiwan, and

malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Japan, and the countervailing

duty order on shop towels from Pakistan. Based on adequate responses

from domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from

respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting expedited

sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of the orders would be

likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or a

countervailable subsidy. As a result of this extension, the Department

intends to issue its final results not later than August 2, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith, Martha V. Douthit or

Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and

14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, (202)

482-3207 or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Final Results

The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on steel wire rope from Japan, shop towels from

the People's Republic of China, shop towels from Bangladesh, candles

from the People's Republic of China, steel wire rope from Mexico, steel

wire rope from South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Taiwan, and

malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Japan, and the countervailing

duty order on shop towels from Pakistan 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 final results of these reviews until not later than

August 2, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: May 3, 1999.
