Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determination:

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 4, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger (202-482-4136) or 
Karla Whalen (202-482-6309), Office of Antidumping Investigations, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW,

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is postponing its 
preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of 
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from the Russian Federation 
(``Russia''). The deadline for issuing this preliminary determination 
is now no later than December 27, 1994.
    On June 20, 1994, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
investigation of ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia (59 FR 
3952, June 27, 1994). The preliminary determination was scheduled for 
November 7, 1994.
    On July 15, 1994, the U.S. International Trade Commission 
determined that there was a likelihood that a U.S. domestic industry 
was materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason 
of imports of ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia.
    This investigation involves unusually complex foreign trading 
channels and, therefore, we have determined that this investigation is 
extraordinarily complicated within the meaning of section 
733(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
and 19 CFR 353.15(b)(2). Furthermore, we have determined that the 
parties concerned are cooperating, as required by section 733(c)(1)(B) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 353.15(b)(1), and that additional time is 
necessary to make this preliminary determination in accordance with 
section 733(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.15(b)(3).
    For these reasons, the deadline, for issuing this determination is 
now no later than December 27, 1994.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

    Dated: September 26, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
