Potassium Permanganate From Spain and From the People's Republic 
of China: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Five-Year Review

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of five-
year (``sunset'') review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of the sunset reviews on the 
antidumping duty orders on potassium permanganate from Spain and from 
the People's Republic of China. Based on adequate response from 
domestic interested parties and inadequate response (in these cases no 
response) from respondent interested parties, the Department is 
conducting expedited sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of 
the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
dumping. As a result of this extension, the Department intends to issue 
its final results not later than June 1, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560 
respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on potassium permanganate from Spain and from 
the People's Republic of China are extraordinarily complicated. In 
accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department may treat a review as 
extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order 
(i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995). See section 751(c)(6)(C) 
of the Act. The Department is extending the time limit for completion 
of the final results of these reviews until not later than June 1, 
1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: March 2, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
