SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department received a request to conduct an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from Brazil. On 
January 26, 1996, the Department initiated this administrative review 
covering the period June 17, 1994, through November 30, 1995.
    Under the Act, the Department may extend the deadline for the 
completion of an administrative review if it determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit of 
365 days. In the instant case, the Department has determined that it is 
not practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated 
by the Act. See Memorandum from Laurie Parkhill to Susan Kuhbach 
(August 8, 1996). Therefore, in accordance with that section, the 
Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to 
December 31, 1996. Our final results will be issued 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    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)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: August 8, 1996.
Susan Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
