Industrial Phosphoric Acid from Israel (C-508-605) and Industrial

Phosphoric Acid From Belgium (A-423-602): Extension of Time Limit for

Final Results of Five-Year Reviews

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 order on industrial phosphoric acid from Belgium and

the countervailing duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from

Israel. Based on adequate

[[Page 34190]]

responses from domestic interested parties and respondent interested

parties, the Department is conducting full 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

preliminary results not later than September 17, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 25, 1999.

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)

Extension of Final Results

The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Belgium and

the countervailing duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Israel

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 September 17, 1999, in accordance

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

reviews will, therefore, be due not later than January 25, 2000.

Dated: June 21, 1999.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
