SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department received a request to conduct an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on sebacic acid from the PRC. On 
September 15, 1995, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this administrative review covering the period July 13, 1994, through 
June 30, 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 
memoranda to the file from Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for 
Import Administration, dated November 22, 1995, and January 11, 1996. 
As adjusted, the current time limits are April 29, 1996, for the 
preliminary results and August 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 August 27, 1996, and for the 
final results to February 24, 1997.
    Intersted 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: April 29, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
