SUPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are

references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective

date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current

Background

On March 31, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

received a request from Cablesa, S.A. de C.V. (Cablesa) for a new

shipper review of its sales to the United States of merchandise subject

to the antidumping duty order on carbon steel wire rope from Mexico. We

initiated the review, which covers the period March 1, 1998 through

February 28, 1999, on April 30, 1999 (Carbon Steel Wire Rope From

Mexico: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 64 FR 24573

(published May 7, 1999)).

On March 29, 1999 and March 31, 1999, in accordance with 19 CFR

351.213(b)(1) and (2), the Department received requests from Aceros

Camesa, S.A. de C.V. (Camesa), and the Committee of Domestic Steel Wire

Rope and Specialty Cable Manufacturers, respectively, to conduct an

administrative review of Camesa's sales to the United States of

merchandise subject to the antidumping duty order on carbon steel wire

rope from Mexico. The administrative review covers the period March 1,

1998 through February 28, 1999, and was initiated on April 22, 1999 (64

FR 23269, published April 30, 1999).

Postponement of Results of New Shipper Review

On July 29, 1999, Cablesa submitted a waiver of the normal time

limits for a new shipper review, as set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(i).

Thus, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), we are conducting this

new shipper review concurrently with the ongoing administrative review

of carbon steel wire rope from Mexico. The signature date for

preliminary results of review is now December 1, 1999.

Dated: October 27, 1999.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
