SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department of Commerce received requests to conduct a new 
shipper administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
stainless steel bar from India. On November 28, 1995, the Department of 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of a new 
shipper review of Akai Asian and Viraj, two exporters of stainless 
steel bar to the United States (60 FR 58598). The review covers the 
period February 1, 1995, through July 31, 1995.
    Because this review is extraordinarily complicated, we are unable 
to complete the review within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act (the Tariff Act). See Memorandum dated June 4, 
1996. Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is 
extending the time limit for the preliminary results to October 15, 
1996.
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(b).
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(2)(B)(iv)).

    Dated: June 5, 1996.
Roland L. MacDonald,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
