The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received requests 
to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on 
antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts 
thereof (AFBs) from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, 
Sweden, and the United Kingdom. On June 29, 1998, the Department 
initiated these administrative reviews covering the period May 1, 1997, 
through April 30, 1998.
    Another matter has recently placed unanticipated heavy burdens on 
the Department's limited resources. These burdens are short term; 
however, they have made it so that it is not practicable to complete 
the AFBs reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The Department, therefore, is extending the 
due date for the preliminary results to February 16, 1999. The 
Department intends to issue the final results of reviews 120 days after 
the publication of the preliminary results. This extension of the time 
limit is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: January 29, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
