SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (``the Act'') are references to the provisions

effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to

the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

The Department initiated this administrative review on August 27,

1998 (63 FR 45796). Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the

Department may extend the deadline for completion of an administrative

review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the

review within the statutory time limit. Due to the complexity of a

certain issue in this case, the Department determines that it is not

practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within

the statutory time limit. See memorandum from Holly A. Kuga to Robert

S. LaRussa, which is on file in Room B-099 at the Department's

headquarters. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for

the preliminary results of the aforementioned review to July 31, 1999.

The final determination will occur within 120 days of the publication

of the preliminary results.

This extension of time limits is in accordance with section

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Dated: March 30, 1999.

Louis Apple,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group II.
