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 16 expedited sunset reviews

initiated on June 1, 1999 (64 FR 29261) 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 subsidy. As a result of

these extensions, the Department intends to issue its final results not

later than December 28, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 12, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eun W. Cho, Kathryn B. McCormick or

Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202)

482-1698, or (202) 482-1560 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 sunset

review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition

order (i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995). The Department has

determined that the sunset reviews of the following antidumping and

countervailing duty orders are extraordinarily complicated:

A-428-802 Industrial Belts Except Synchronous & V Belts from Germany

A-475-802 Synchronous and V-Belts from Italy

A-588-807 Industrial Belts from Japan

A-559-802 V-Belts from Singapore

A-351-804 Industrial Nitrocellulose from Brazil

A-427-009 Industrial Nitrocellulose from France

A-428-803 Industrial Nitrocellulose from Germany

A-588-812 Industrial Nitrocellulose from Japan

A-580-805 Industrial Nitrocellulose from Korea

A-570-802 Industrial Nitrocellulose from the People's Republic of

China

A-412-803 Industrial Nitrocellulose from the United Kingdom

A-479-801 Industrial Nitrocellulose from Yugoslavia

A-122-804 Steel Rail from Canada

C-122-805 Steel Rail from Canada

A-588-810 Mechanical Transfer Presses from Japan

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

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

December 28, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: September 29, 1999.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
