From Pakistan, Steel Wire Rope From South Korea, Malleable Cast Iron 
Pipe Fittings From South Korea, Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings From

Limit for Final Results of Five-Year Reviews

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

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

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

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 steel wire rope from Japan, shop towels from 
the People's Republic of China, shop towels from Bangladesh, candles 
from the People's Republic of China, steel wire rope from Mexico, steel 
wire rope from South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from 
South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Taiwan, and 
malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Japan, and the countervailing 
duty order on shop towels from Pakistan. Based on adequate responses 
from domestic interested parties and inadequate responses 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 or a 
countervailable subsidy. As a result of this extension, the Department 
intends to issue its final results not later than August 2, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith, Martha V. Douthit or 
Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 
14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, (202) 
482-3207 or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on steel wire rope from Japan, shop towels from 
the People's Republic of China, shop towels from Bangladesh, candles 
from the People's Republic of China, steel wire rope from Mexico, steel 
wire rope from South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from 
South Korea, malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Taiwan, and 
malleable cast iron pipe fittings from Japan, and the countervailing 
duty order on shop towels from Pakistan 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 
August 2, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
