Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Full Five-Year

Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of

full five-year (``sunset'') reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending

the time limit for the preliminary results of six full sunset reviews

initiated on September 1, 1999 (64 FR 47767) covering various

antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Based on adequate responses

from domestic and respondent interested parties, the Department is

conducting full 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

preliminary results not later than March 20, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 1999.

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

Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.

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

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560

respectively.

Extension of Preliminary 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 reviews at

issue concern transition orders within the meaning of section

751(c)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act. The Department has determined that the

sunset reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing duty

orders are extraordinarily complicated:

C-428-817 Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Flat Products from Germany

C-428-817 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from

Germany

C-428-817 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Germany

A-588-826 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Japan

A-421-804 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from The

Netherlands

A-485-803 Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

completion of the preliminary results of these reviews until not later

than March 20, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the

Act.
