SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce has received requests to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PECTs from 
Japan. On August 16, 1995, the Department initiated this administrative 
review covering the period July 1, 1994, through June 30, 1995.
    It is not practicable to complete this review within the time 
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Memorandum For 
Sue Esserman from Joe Spetrini, Extension of Time Limits for 1994-95 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Professional Electric Cutting 
Tools from Japan, March 6, 1996). Therefore, in accordance with that 
section, the Department is extending the time limits for the 
preliminary results to August 27, 1996, and for the final results to 
December 26, 1996. The Department adjusted the time limits by 28 days 
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. These extensions are in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: March 21, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
