Chloropicrin 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 chloropicrin 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 chloropicrin 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.
