The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930

(``the Act'') are references to the provisions effective January 1,

1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the

Uruguay Rounds Agreements Act.

Postponement of Final Results

On September 8, 1999, the Department published the preliminary

results for this review. See 64 FR 48767. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the

Act requires the Department to complete an administrative review within

120 days of publication of the preliminary results. However, if it is

not practicable to complete the review within the 120-day time limit,

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the

time limit to180 days from the date of

[[Page 59739]]

publication of the preliminary results. The Department has determined

that it is not practicable to issue its final results within the

original 120-day time limit (See Decision Memorandum from Joseph A.

Spetrini to Robert LaRussa dated October 21, 1999). We are therefore

extending the deadline for the final results in this review to 180 days

from the date on which the notice of preliminary results was published.

The fully extended deadline for the final results is March 6, 2000.

Dated: October 28, 1999.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary Enforcement Group III.
