SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 16, 1995, in response to requests from interested 
parties, the Department initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on lock washers from the PRC (60 FR 57573), 
covering the period October 1, 1994 through September 31, 1995.

[[Page 40609]]

    It is not practicable to complete this review within the time 
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Memorandum for 
Robert LaRussa from Roland L. MacDonald, Extension of Time Limits for 
1994-95 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Helical Spring Lock 
Washers from the People's Republic of China, July 29, 1996). Therefore, 
in accordance with that section, the Department is extending the time 
limits for the preliminary results to August 6, 1996. 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. This extension is in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: July 30, 1996.
Roland L. MacDonald,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
