Certain Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipes and Tubes From India; 
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of New Shipper Review

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit of new shippers review.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for final 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 
30, 1996. We are extending the time limit because we have determined 
that this review is extraordinarily complicated, as provided for in the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Davina Hashmi or Kristie Strecker, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 
DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4733.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 27, 1996, the Department initiated a new shippers review 
covering the period May 1, 1995, through April 30, 1996. We published 
the preliminary results on May 1, 1997 in the Federal Register. The 
final results are currently due to be issued on July 30, 1997.
    Under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, if the Department 
determines that a new shippers review is extraordinarily complicated, 
the Department may extend the deadline for issuing the final results of 
review up to 150 days after the date the preliminary determination was 
issued. In the instant case, the Department has determined this review 
is extraordinarily complicated due to numerous complex cost-accounting 
and level-of-trade issues and the fact that the review involves the 
analyses of two companies (see Memorandum from Richard W. Moreland to 
Robert S. LaRussa, Recommended Extension of Time Limit for Final 
Results, July 18, 1997). Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit 
for the final results to August 29, 1997.
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b). 
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act.

    Dated: July 21, 1997.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
