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 18 expedited sunset reviews

initiated on July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35588) 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 January 27, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 16, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young or Melissa G. Skinner,

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW,

Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3207, 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-570-805 Sulfur Chemicals (Sodium Thiosulfate) from the People's

Republic of China

A-428-807 Sulfur Chemicals (Sodium Thiosulfate) from Germany

A-412-805 Sulfur Chemicals (Sodium Thiosulfate) from the United

Kingdom

A-533-808 Stainless Steel Wire Rods from India

A-351-819 Stainless Steel Wire Rods from Brazil

A-427-811 Stainless Steel Wire Rods from France

C-469-004 Stainless Steel Wire Rods from Spain

A-580-810 Welded Stainless Steel Pipes from Korea

A-583-815 Welded Stainless Steel Pipes from Taiwan

A-403-801 Fresh & Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway

C-403-802 Fresh & Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway

A-580-807 Polyethylene Terephthalate Film from Korea

A-570-804 Sparklers from the People's Republic of China

A-588-702 Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Japan

A-580-813 Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Korea

A-583-816 Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan

A-570-803 Heavy Forged Hand Tools (Axes and Adzes) from the

People's Republic of China

A-570-803 Heavy Forged Hand Tools (Picks and Mattocks) from the

People's Republic of China

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

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

January 27, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: October 18, 1999.
