Notice of Commission Decisions To Extend Deadlines for 
Determining Whether To Review Two Initial Determinations and Notice 
That Three Initial Determinations Have Become Final

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has decided to extend by 15 business days the administrative 
deadlines for determining whether to review two initial determinations 
(IDs) issued by the presiding administrative law judges in the above-
captioned Salinomycin and Magnets investigations and to declare the 
Salinomycin investigation ``more complicated.'' These actions are 
necessary because of the recent loss of 15 business days due to the 
partial government-wide shutdown, snow emergency days, and an agency 
furlough. The loss of these 15 business days is an ``other significant 
factor'' within the meaning of Commission rule 210.22(a), 59 F.R. 39049 
(Aug. 1, 1994), which governs the Salinomycin investigation. Notice is 
also hereby given that three IDs issued in the above-captioned Fish 
Cakes, Electrical Connectors, and Microprocessors investigations have 
become final by operation of Commission rule 210.42(h)(3), 19 C.F.R. 
210.42(h)(3).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lyle Vander Schaaf, Esq., Office of 
the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 
202-205-3107.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission was closed 11 business days 
(December 18, 1995--January 7, 1996) due to the partial government-wide 
shutdown. Following this shutdown, the agency was closed for three days 
due to a snow emergency (January 8-10, 1996). The Commission opened for 
one day, then closed again on January 12, 1996, for a Commission 
furlough. As a result, the Commission was closed for a total of 15 
business days during which time no work could be performed by 
Commissioners and staff on the IDs in the Salinomycin and Magnets 
investigations. In order to recoup this time, the Commission has 
decided to extend by 15 business days the administrative deadlines for 
deciding whether to review the IDs issued by the presiding ALJs in 
those two investigations. The following are the IDs to which the 
extensions apply and their new deadlines:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Investigation                   ALJ order No.             Old deadline             New deadline     
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inv. No. 337-TA-370..................  Final order............  Jan. 19, 1996..........  Feb. 9, 1996.          
Inv. No. 337-TA-372..................  Final order............  Jan. 26, 1996..........  Feb. 16, 1996.         
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission decided not to exercise its authority to extend 
retroactively the review deadlines for 

[[Page 3463]]
three IDs issued in the Fish Cakes, Electrical Connectors, and 
Microprocessors investigations because those IDs were not controversial 
and were not the subject of any petitions for review. The following are 
the IDs that became final and the dates on which they became final:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                        Date ID became  
          Investigation              ALJ order No.           final      
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inv. No. 337-TA-374.............  Order No. 35......  Jan. 11, 1996.    
Inv. No. 337-TA-377.............  Order No. 5.......  Jan. 16, 1996.    
Inv. No. 337-TA-378.............  Order No. 5.......  Jan. 9, 1996.     
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and Commission rules 
210.42(h), 19 C.F.R. Sec. 210.42(h), and 210.22, 59 F.R. 39049 (Aug. 1, 
1994). Copies of the public versions of the IDs and all other
