DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration


Extension of Time 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 Preliminary Results of 
Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of 23 expedited sunset reviews 
initiated on May 3, 1999 (64 FR 23596) covering various antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders. 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 antidumping and countervailing duty 
orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping 
or a countervailable. As a result of these extensions, the Department 
intends to issue its final results not later than November 29, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560 
respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    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 has determined that the sunset reviews of 
the following antidumping and countervailing duty orders are 
extraordinarily complicated:

A-583-008  Small Diameter Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube from Taiwan
A-549-502  Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand
A-533-502  Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from India
A-489-501  Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Turkey
A-122-506  Oil Country Tubular Goods from Canada
A-583-505  Oil Country Tubular Goods from Taiwan
A-559-502  Small Diameter Standard & Rectangular Pipe & Tube from 
Singapore
A-583-803  Light Walled Rectangular Tubing from Taiwan
A-357-802  Light Walled Rectangular Tubing from Argentina
A-351-809  Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Brazil

A-201-805  Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico
A-583-814  Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Taiwan
A-307-805  Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Venezuela
A-588-707  Granular Polytetrafluoroetheylene Resin from Japan
A-475-703  Granular Polytetraflouroetheylene Resin from Italy

A-549-807  Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Thailand
A-484-801  Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from Greece
A-588-806  Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from Japan

    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of these reviews until not later than 
November 29, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: August 31, 1999.
