DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
(A-570-839)


Notice of Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty 
Determination: Certain Partial-Extension Steel Drawer Slides With 
Rollers From the People's Republic of China

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Brinkmann (202-482-5288) or 
Michelle Frederick (202-482-0186), Office of Antidumping 
Investigations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: On November 21, 1994, the 
Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated an antidumping 
duty investigation of certain partial-extension steel drawer slides 
with rollers (``drawer slides'') from the People's Republic of China 
(PRC) (59 FR 60773, November 28, 1994). The notice of initiation stated 
that if this investigation proceeds normally, the Department would 
issue its preliminary determination on or before April 9, 1995.
    On December 15, 1994, the U.S. International Trade Commission 
determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. domestic 
industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of 
drawer slides from the PRC (59 FR 65787, December 21, 1994).
    This investigation is rendered extraordinarily complicated by the 
novel issue of government ownership of exporters of subject 
merchandise. Furthermore, information available to the Department 
indicates that there are many producers/exporters of the subject 
merchandise. The process of identifying all exporters who sold subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POI caused significant 
delays in issuing our questionnaire. In addition, we determine at this 
time that respondent parties in this investigation appear to be 
cooperating.
    For these reasons, pursuant to sections 733(c)(1)(B)(i) (II) and 
(III) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we determine 
that this investigation is extraordinarily complicated and that 
additional time is necessary to make the preliminary determination in 
accordance with 733(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act. Therefore, we are 
postponing our preliminary determination in this investigation until no 
later than May 30, 1995.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

    Dated: March 3, 1995.
Barbara R. Stafford,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investigations, Import Administration.
