Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Everett Kelly or Ellen Grebasch, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Summary

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the time 
limit for the preliminary results of the new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the People's Republic of 
China. The period of review is May 1, 1996, through October 31, 1996. 
This extension is made pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (hereinafter, ``the Act'').

Postponement

    On December 20, 1996, the Department initiated this new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the 
People's Republic of China (61 FR 69067). The current deadline for the 
preliminary results is June 18, 1997. Under the Act, the Department may 
extend the deadline for completion of a new shipper review if it 
determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. The Department 
finds that it is not practicable to complete the new shipper review of 
pure magnesium from the People's Republic of China within this time 
limit due to the complex nature of certain issues in this review which 
require further investigation. Among these issues is the ongoing 
verification of a reportedly canceled sale and a first time separate 
rates determination.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the 
Department will extend the time for completion for the preliminary 
results of this new shipper review to October 16, 1997. Accordingly, we 
will issue the final results within 90 days after notice of the 
preliminary results is published in the Federal Register.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
