Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), are references to the provisions

citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations at 19

Postponement of Final Determination

    On January 28, 1999, the Republic of Kazakhstan (ROK) requested a 
60-day postponement of the date for the Department to make its final 
determination in this investigation pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of 
the Act. Because our preliminary determination was affirmative, because 
the Republic of Kazakhstan represents the totality of the respondents, 
and because no compelling reasons for denial exist, we are granting the 
respondent's request to postpone the final determination.
    As the Notice of Resumption of Antidumping Investigation was 
published on January 19, 1999, the new deadline for the final 
determination will be June 3, 1999. Suspension of liquidation will be 
extended accordingly.
    On January 22, 1999, USEC, Inc., and its subsidiary, the United 
States Enrichment Corporation, an interested party in the proceeding, 
requested a hearing. On January 29, 1999, the Ad Hoc Committee of 
Domestic Uranium Producers, a Petitioner in the proceeding, requested a 
hearing. Finally, on February 1, 1999, the Paper, Allied-Industrial-
Chemical and Energy Workers International Union (PACE), formerly the 
Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, a Petitioner in the proceeding, 
also requested a hearing. As a result of the postponement of the final 
determination, the Department is also postponing the date of the 
hearing to May 12, 1999. Case briefs will be due on May 3, 1999, with 
rebuttal briefs being due on May 10, 1999.
    This notice of postponement is published pursuant to 19 CFR 
353.20(b)(2)(1992).

    Dated: February 19, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
