Postponement of Preliminary Results of New Shipper Administrative

Review

On January 28, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

initiated this new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on oil

country tubular goods from Canada. See Oil Country Tubular Goods From

Canada: Notice of Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, 64 FR 5265 (February 3, 1999). We have

determined that this review is extraordinarily complicated, and that we

are unable to complete it within the original timeframe. See the

Memorandum from Bernard T. Carreau to Robert S. LaRussa, dated June 9,

1999, on file in the Central Records Unit located in room B-099 of the

main Department of Commerce building. Therefore, the Department is

extending the time limit for issuing the preliminary results from July

27, 1999, for an additional 120 days, to November 24, 1999.

Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the preliminary results is

now due no later than November 24, 1999. The deadline for issuing the

final results will be no later than 90 days from the issuance of the

preliminary results.

This notice is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the

Trade and Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(2)(B)(iv)).

Dated: June 16, 1999.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
