Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Expedited Five-Year

Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

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

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

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

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

the time limit for the final results of 28 expedited sunset reviews

initiated on September 1, 1999 (64 FR 47767) 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 March 29, 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 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 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:

A-583-080 Carbon Steel Plate from Taiwan

C-401-401 Carbon Steel Products from Sweden

C-423-806 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Belgium

C-351-818 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Brazil

C-427-810 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from France

A-469-803 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Spain

A-401-805 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Sweden

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

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

March 29, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: December 15, 1999.
