Postponement of Final Results of New Shipper Review and Preliminary

Results of Administrative Review

The Department issued the preliminary results of the new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order on static random access memory

semiconductors from Taiwan on October 4, 1999 (64 FR 55251 (October 12,

1999)). The current deadline for the final results in this review is

December 31, 1999. In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the

Tariff Act of 1930 (the ``Act''), as amended, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2),

the Department finds that this new shipper review cannot be completed

within the original time frame due to the extraordinarily complicated

nature of certain issues in this review. Thus, the Department is

extending the time limit for completion of the final results of the new

shipper review until March 2, 2000, which is 150 days after the date on

which the preliminary results were issued. See memorandum to Robert

LaRussa, dated November 17, 1999.

Moreover, because it is not practicable to complete the

administrative review within the time limits mandated by the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act (245 days from the last day of the anniversary

month for preliminary results, 120 additional days for final results),

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2),

the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the

preliminary results of the administrative review

[[Page 66169]]

until April 29, 2000. See memorandum to Robert LaRussa, dated November

17, 1999.

These extensions are in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv)

and 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Dated: November 17, 1999.

Louis Apple,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
