Background

    On March 31, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from Aceros Camesa, S.A. de C.V. (Camesa) for an 
antidumping duty administrative review of carbon steel wire rope from 
Mexico. On May 21, 1997, the Department published its initiation of 
this antidumping duty administrative review covering the period of 
March 1, 1996 through February 28, 1997 (62 FR 27721). Preliminary 
results were published on April 7, 1998 (63 FR 16967). A hearing was 
held on May 28, 1998.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from 
Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for 
the Final Results of Review of Steel Wire Rope from Mexico, dated 
August 3, 1998, it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the final results by 30 days 
to September 2, 1998.

    Dated: August 3, 1998.
Roland L. MacDonald,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
