Postponement of Final Determination

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the final 
determination in the antidumping investigation of live cattle from 
Canada. The deadline for issuing the final determination in this 
investigation is now no later than October 4, 1999.
    On June 30, 1999, the Department issued its affirmative preliminary 
determination in this proceeding. The notice stated we would issue our 
final determination by September 13, 1999. See Notice of Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Live Cattle from 
Canada, 64 FR 36847 (July 8, 1999).
    On July 2, 1999, pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended, the Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the named 
respondents in this investigation requested that the Department 
postpone the issuance of the final determination in this investigation 
for 21 days. They also requested an extension of the provisional 
measures (i.e., suspension of liquidation) period from four months to 
four months and three weeks, in accordance with the Department's 
regulations (19 CFR 351.210(e)(2)).
    The respondents' request was timely, and the Department finds no 
compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, we are extending this 
final determination until October 4, 1999. Suspension of liquidation 
will be extended accordingly.
    In addition, because the countervailing duty investigation of live 
cattle from Canada has been aligned with this investigation under 
section 705(a)(1) of the Act, the time limit for completion of the 
final determination in the countervailing duty investigation

will be the same date, October 4, 1999, as the final determination of 
the concurrent antidumping investigation.
    This notice of postponement is published pursuant to section 735(a) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

    Dated: July 19, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
