Brass Sheet and Strip From Canada, Brass Sheet and Strip From the

Netherlands, Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From Mexico, Porcelain-on-

Steel Cooking Ware From Mexico: 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 brass sheet & strip from Canada, brass sheet

& strip from the Netherlands, and porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from

Mexico, and on the countervailing duty order on porcelain-on-steel

cooking ware from Mexico. Based on adequate responses from domestic and

respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting full sunset

reviews to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders

would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and

whether revocation of the countervailing duty order would be likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. As a

result of these extensions, the Department intends to issue its

preliminary results not later than August 20, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 28, 1999.

Extension of Preliminary Results

The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on brass sheet & strip from Canada, brass sheet

& strip from the Netherlands, and porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from

Mexico, and on the countervailing duty order on porcelain-on-steel

cooking ware from Mexico 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 August 20, in

accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The final results of

these reviews will, therefore, be due not later than December 28, 1999.

Dated: May 21, 1999.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
