AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 16, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David Boyland, Office of Countervailing Investigations, U.S. Department

Postponement of Final Determination

    On October 18, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
issued its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty 
investigation of disposable pocket lighters from Thailand (59 FR 53414 
October 24, 1994).
    On November 3, 1994, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), respondent requested that the 
Department postpone its final determination in this investigation until 
135 days after the date of publication of the preliminary 
determination. Under section 735(a)(2) of the Act and section 353.20(b) 
of the Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.20(b)) if, subsequent to an 
affirmative preliminary determination, the Department receives a 
written, substantiated request for postponement of the final 
determination from producers or resellers of a significant proportion 
of the merchandise, the Department will, absent compelling reasons for 
denial, grant the request. Accordingly, we are postponing our final 
determination in this investigation until March 8, 1995.

Public Comment

    In accordance with 19 CFR 353.38, case briefs or other written 
comments in at least ten copies must now be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration no later than February 13, 1995, 
and rebuttal briefs, no later than February 21, 1995. We have received 
requests for a hearing by the petitioner and, therefore, under 19 CFR 
353.38(f), we will hold a public hearing to allow parties to comment on 
arguments raised in the case or rebuttal briefs. Tentatively, the 
hearing will be held on February 28, 1995, at 1:00 p.m. at the U.S. 
Department of Commerce, room 3708, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20230. Parties should confirm by telephone the 
time, date, and place of the hearing, 48 hours before the scheduled 
time. This notice is published pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 353.20(b)(2).

    Dated: November 9, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
