    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department has received a request to conduct administrative 
reviews of the antidumping duty orders on electrolytic manganese 
dioxide from Japan and Greece. On May 20, 1999, and June 30, 1999, the 
Department initiated these administrative reviews covering the period 
April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999 (64 FR 28973 and 64 FR 35124 
respectively).
    Because it is not practicable to complete these reviews within the 
time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Memoranda 
from Richard W. Moreland to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit 
for Administrative Reviews of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from Japan 
and Greece, December 21, 1999), the Department is extending the time 
limits for the preliminary results to February 14, 2000. The Department 
intends to issue the final results of reviews 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results. This extension of the time 
limit is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: December 28, 1999.
Louis I. Apple,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
