SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department received a request to conduct an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on granular PTFE resin from Italy. 
On October 12, 1995, the Department published a notice of initiation 
(60 FR 53164) 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.
    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 
limit for the preliminary results to September 27, 1996.
    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.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
