Certain Pasta From Italy; Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 
New Shipper Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 16, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Brinkmann or Edward Easton, 
Office of AD/CVD Enforcement II, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-
5288 or 482-1777, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 4, 1998, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated a new shipper review relating to the 
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy, covering the period 
July 1, 1997, through December 31, 1997 (63 FR 10590). Therefore, the 
current deadline for the preliminary results of this new shipper review 
is August 31, 1998. Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary 
determination within 180 days after the date on which the new shipper 
review was initiated. However, when the Department determines a case is 
extraordinarily complicated, it may extend the 180-day period to 300 
days, 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), (62 FR 27296, 27396 (1997)).
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department has 
determined that this case is extraordinarily complicated given the 
complex nature of the issues involved in the concurrent administrative 
review of this proceeding and activities connected with the judicial 
remand of the Department's final determination in the investigation of 
Certain Pasta from Italy. See Borden, Inc. v. US, Slip Op. 98-36 (March 
26, 1998). Thus, in accordance with the statutory and regulatory 
authority cited above, the Department is extending the deadline for 
issuing the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 30 days 
to no later than September 30, 1998. We plan to issue the final results 
within 90 days after the date the preliminary results are issued.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Act.

    Dated: July 9, 1998.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
