SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department received a request to conduct an administrative 
review of the antidumping finding on large power transformers from 
Italy. On August 16, 1995, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of this administrative review covering the period June 1, 
1994, through May 31, 1995. 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. As adjusted, the 
current time limits are March 29, 1996, for the preliminary results and 
July 27, 1996, for the final results.
    It is not practicable to complete this review within the time 
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in 
accordance with that section, the Department is extending the time 
limits for the preliminary results to July 27, 1996, and for the final 
results to January 23, 1997.
    Interested parties must submit applications for 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 
Act.

    Dated: March 29, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
