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 Preliminary Results of

Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews.

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

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

the time limit for the final results of 23 expedited sunset reviews

initiated on May 3, 1999 (64 FR 23596) covering various antidumping and

countervailing duty orders. 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 antidumping and countervailing duty

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

or a countervailable. As a result of these extensions, the Department

intends to issue its final results not later than November 29, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner,

respectively.

Extension of Final Results

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 has determined that the sunset reviews of

the following antidumping and countervailing duty orders are

extraordinarily complicated:

A-583-008 Small Diameter Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube from Taiwan

A-549-502 Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand

A-533-502 Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from India

Singapore

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

completion of the final results of these reviews until not later than

November 29, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: August 31, 1999.
