SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce has received requests to conduct 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction 
bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from 
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, Thailand, and the 
United Kingdom. On June 19, 1995, the Department initiated these 
administrative reviews covering the period May 1, 1994, through April 
30, 1995.

    Due to the complexity of these cases it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the time limit mandated by section 751 (a) 
(3) (A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Therefore, in accordance 
with that section, the Department is extending the time limits for the 
preliminary results to June 27, 1996, and for the final results to 
December 24, 1996.

    The Department adjusted 28 days to the time limits due to the 
Government shutdowns, which lasted from November 14, 1995, to November 
20, 1995, and from December 15, 1995, to January 6, 1996. See 
Memorandum to the file from Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for 
Import Administration, January 11, 1996.

    Interested parties must submit applications disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b).

    These extensions are in accordance with section 751 (a) (3) (a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)).

    Dated: January 23, 1996

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
