[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 251 (Monday, December 30, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 68713] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-33177] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE [A-588-703] Certain Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipes and Tubes From India; Extension of Time Limits of New Shippers Review AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. ACTION: Notice of extension of time limits of new shippers review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the time limit for the preliminary results in the new shippers review of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel standard pipes and tubes from India, covering the period May 1, 1995, through April 31, 1996, because the Department has concluded that the review is extraordinarily complicated. EFFECTIVE DATE: December 30, 1996. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Davina Hashmi, Office of Antidumping/ Countervailing Duty Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5760. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department of Commerce has received requests to conduct a new shippers review of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel standard pipes and tubes from India. On June 27, 1996, the Department initiated this new shippers review covering the period May 1, 1995, through April 31, 1996, in accordance with 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The Department has initiated a sales-below-cost investigation of the respondents in this review. We would not be able to complete this sales-below-cost investigation and incorporate that analysis in the margin calculations for our preliminary results of review within the deadline contained in section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. For this reason, we conclude that this new shippers review is extraordinarily complicated (see Memorandum from Laurie Parkhill to Barbara R. Stafford, Recommendation to Extend New Shippers Review Schedule, December 19, 1996). Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for completing the preliminary results of review until April 23, 1997. This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. Dated: December 19, 1996. Barbara R. Stafford, Deputy Assistant Secretary of AD/CVD Enforcement.
