Polyvinyl Alcohol from Taiwan: Notice of Extension of Time Limit 
for New Shipper Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 24, 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., 
Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4194 or (202) 482-3773, 
respectively.

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 polyvinyl alcohol from Taiwan. 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 18, 1996, the Department initiated this new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol from Taiwan 
(61 FR 68237, December 28, 1996). The current deadline for the 
preliminary results is June 16, 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 
polyvinyl alcohol from Taiwan within this time limit due to the 
extraordinarily complicated nature of certain issues in this review 
which require further investigation. Among these issues is the question 
of respondent Perry Chemical Corporation's eligibility to be considered 
a new shipper.
    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 14, 1997. Accordingly, we 
will issue the final results within 90 days after notice of the 
preliminary results is published in the Federal Register.
