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.
