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 seven expedited sunset reviews

initiated on August 2, 1999 (64 FR 41915) covering various antidumping

duty orders as well as a suspended countervailing duty investigation.

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 duty orders and suspended countervailing duty

investigation 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

February 28, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 3, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith 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) 482-6397, 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 review as

extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order

(i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995; see section 751(c)(6)(C)

of the Act). The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of

the following antidumping duty orders and suspended countervailing duty

investigation are extraordinarily complicated:

A-588-815 Grey Portland Cement and Cement Clinker from Japan

C-307-804 Grey Portland Cement and Cement Clinker from Venezuela

A-588-817 Flat Panel Displays (Electroluminescent) from Japan

A-570-808 Chrome-Plated Lug Nuts from the People's Republic of China

A-583-810 Chrome-Plated Lug Nuts from Taiwan

A-557-805 Extruded Rubber Thread from Malaysia

A-823-802 Uranium from the Ukraine

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

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

February 28, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: November 29, 1999.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
