Greige Polyester Cotton Printcloth From the People's Republic of

China: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Five-Year Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

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

year (``sunset'') review.

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

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

the time limit for the final results of the sunset review on the

antidumping duty order on greige polyester cotton printcloth from the

People's Republic of China. Based on adequate response from domestic

interested parties and inadequate response (in this case no response)

from respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting an

expedited sunset review to determine whether revocation of the order

would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. As a

result of this extension, the Department intends to issue its final

results not later than June 1, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1999.

respectively.

Extension of Final Results

The Department has determined that the sunset review of the

antidumping duty order on greige polyester cotton printcloth from the

People's Republic of China are extraordinarily complicated. 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 is extending the time limit for completion

of the final results of this review until not later than June 1, 1999,

in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: March 2, 1999.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
