The Applicable Statute

     Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930 (the Act) are references to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Rounds Agreements Act.

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    We have determined that these investigations are extraordinarily 
complicated within the meaning of section 733(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act. 
The large number of potential respondents in both the brake drums and 
the brake rotors investigations will make it necessary to review the 
volume and value data from each one in order to determine the 
appropriate mandatory respondents. In addition, claims for separate 
rates will have to be analyzed individually.
    Furthermore, we have determined that the parties concerned are 
cooperating, as required by section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, and that 
additional time is necessary to make these preliminary determinations 
in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act.
    For these reasons, the deadline for issuing the preliminary 
determination in these cases is now no later than October 3, 1996.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act.

    Dated: May 30, 1996.
Barbara R. Stafford,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investigations, Import Administration.
