SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the twelfth administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico, 
which covers the period December 1, 1997, through November 30, 1998.

Postponement

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (the Act), the Department 
of Commerce (the Department) shall make a preliminary determination in 
an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication 
of the order. The Act further provides, however, that the Department 
may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in this twelfth administrative review of certain 
porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico within this time limit due to a 
number of complex issues, including reimbursement.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the preliminary 
results of this review until November 1, 1999.

    Dated: August 16, 1999.
Susan Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
