International Trade Administration


Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Expedited Five-Year 
Reviews

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

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

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of 28 expedited sunset reviews 
initiated on September 1, 1999 (64 FR 47767) 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 subsidy. As a result of 
these extensions, the Department intends to issue its final results not 
later than March 29, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young or Melissa G. Skinner, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 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 sunset 
review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition 
order (i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995). The reviews at 
issue concern transition orders within the meaning of section 
751(c)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act. The Department has determined that the 
sunset reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing duty 
orders are extraordinarily complicated:

A-583-080 Carbon Steel Plate from Taiwan
C-401-401 Carbon Steel Products from Sweden
C-423-806 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Belgium
C-351-818 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Brazil
C-427-810 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from France
C-580-818 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Korea
C-580-818 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Korea
C-201-810 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Mexico
C-469-804 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Spain

A-602-803 Carbon Steel Flat Products from Australia

A-427-808 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from France
A-428-815 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from 
Germany
A-428-814 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Germany
A-428-816 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Germany
A-580-816 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Korea
A-580-815 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Korea
A-201-809 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Mexico
A-455-802 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Poland
A-469-803 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Spain
A-401-805 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Sweden
A-412-814 Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from the United Kingdom

    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of these reviews until not later than 
March 29, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: December 15, 1999.
