Postponement of Final Results of Review

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published the

preliminary results of the first antidumping administrative review and

new shipper review on brake rotors from the People's Republic of China

(``PRC'') on May 6, 1999 (64 FR 24322). The current deadline for the

final results in these reviews is September 3, 1999. In accordance with

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act''), as

amended, we determine that it is not practicable to complete this

review within the original time frame. Because of travel restrictions

imposed by the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, we are

[[Page 32846]]

currently unable to conduct verification and allow sufficient

opportunity for the submission of interested party comments, prior to

the current final results deadline, as originally planned. Thus, in

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section

351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations, the Department is

extending the time limit for completion of the final results of these

reviews until November 2, 1999, which is 180 days after the date on

which the notice of the preliminary results was published in the

Federal Register.

Dated: June 14, 1999.

Laurie Parkhill,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
