Brass Sheet and Strip From Canada, Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; Time Limits

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results.

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

SUMMARY: At the request of the petitioner, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) is extending the time limit for the preliminary 
results of the antidumping duty administrative review of Brass Sheet 
and Strip from Canada. The review covers one manufacturer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States and the period January 1, 
1996 to December 31, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 15, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul M. Stolz or Tom Futtner, Program Manager, Office of Antidumping/ 
Countervailing Duty Enforcement, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4474 or (202) 482-3814 respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Respondent in this review has requested 
revocation of the antidumping duty order with respect to its shipments 
of the subject merchandise to the United States. Verification is 
required. Petitioner has submitted a request for an extension of the 
deadline for the preliminary results stating that the issue of 
revocation calls for development of the record and thorough analysis. 
Petitioner states that it is not practicable to complete the review by 
the current deadline, October 3, 1997. In this case we agree with the 
petitioner and have determined that additional time is required to 
adequately develop the record with respect to revocation and to conduct 
verification. Thus, in accordance with section 353.22(c)(4) of our 
regulations, we are extending the time limit for the completion of the 
preliminary results to January 31, 1998. (See Memorandum from Jeffrey 
P. Bialos to Robert S. LaRussa.) We will issue our final results for 
this review within 120 days after publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)).

    Dated: September 5, 1997.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
