Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received a request 
to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
Steel Wire Rope from Mexico. On May 21, 1997, the Department initiated 
this administrative review covering the period March 1, 1996 through 
February 28, 1997.
    Because of the complexity of certain issues in this case, it is not 
practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. See Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini 
to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the Administrative 
Review of Steel Wire Rope from Mexico, dated December 24, 1997. 
Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is extending 
the time limits for the preliminary results to March 31, 1998, and for 
the final results to 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    These extensions of time limits are in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: December 24, 1997.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
