ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the new shipper antidumping 
duty administrative review of CDIW from the PRC. The review covers one 
manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise to the United States 
and the period August 1, 1995 to February 29, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 30, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul M. Stolz, Office of Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Enforcement, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-4474.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because this is a new shipper review 
involving a nonmarket economy country, the Department must determine 
whether the new shipper, Beijing M Star Pipe Corp., Ltd. (BMSP), has 
not shipped during the period of investigation and whether BMSP is 
entitled to a separate rate, both of which we intend to verify. For 
these reasons, we consider this review to be extraordinarily 
complicated, and are extending the time limit for the completion of the 
preliminary results to February 13, 1997, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act, effective January 1, 1995. (See Memorandum from 
Jeffrey P. Bialos to Robert S. LaRussa.) We will issue our final 
results for this review by May 14, 1997.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(2)(B)(iv).

    Dated: October 15, 1996.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
