POSTPONEMENT OF FINAL DETERMINATION: On March 28, 1996, the Department 
initiated an antidumping duty investigation of imports of rebar from 
Turkey. The notice of initiation stated that we would issue our 
preliminary determination on or before August 15, 1996 (61 FR 15039, 
April 4, 1996). On May 30, 1996, June 4, 1996, and July 1, 1996, we 
received questionnaire responses from the five Turkish respondents 
producing merchandise subject to this investigation.
    On July 22, 1996, petitioners made a timely request pursuant to 19 
CFR 353.15(C) of the Department's interim regulations (60 FR 25130, May 
11, 1995) for a 50-day postponement of the preliminary determination, 
until October 4, 1996, pursuant to Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Petitioners requested a postponement 
so that the Department would have the opportunity to analyze and use 
respondents' cost of production data for the preliminary determination.
    For the reasons identified by petitioners, we are postponing the 
preliminary determination under Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act.
    We will make our preliminary determination no later than October 4, 
1996.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

    Dated: July 26, 1996.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
