Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930 
(``the Act'') are references to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are references to the

Extension of Preliminary Results

    The Department initiated this administrative review on September 
25, 1997 (62 FR 50292). Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department may extend the deadline for completion of an administrative 
review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the statutory time limit of 365 days. Because of the 
complexity of an issue in this case, it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit of 365 days. The 
Department, therefore, is extending the time limit for the final 
results of the aforementioned review to October 8, 1998. See memorandum 
from Maria Harris Tildon to Robert S. LaRussa, which is on file in Room 
B-099 at the Department's headquarters.
    This extension of time limit is in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: September 8, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group II.
