Cotton Shop Towels From Peru: Extension of Time Limit for 
Preliminary Results of Five-Year Review

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

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

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the sunset review on the 
suspended countervailing duty investigation on cotton shop towels from 
Peru. Based on adequate responses from domestic and respondent 
interested parties, the Department is conducting a full sunset review 
to determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. As a result of 
this extension, the Department intends to issue its preliminary results 
not later than July 23, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 3, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darla D. Brown 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) 482-3207 or (202) 482-1560 
respectively.

Extension of Preliminary Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset review of the 
suspended countervailing duty investigation on cotton shop towels from 
Peru is 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 preliminary results of 
this review until not later than July 23, 1999, in accordance with 
section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The final results of this review will, 
therefore, be due not later than November 30, 1999.

    Dated: April 26, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
