The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act) are to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 
(1998).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce has received a request to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Japan. The Department initiated this antidumping 
administrative review for Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. on September 
29, 1998 (63 FR 51893) and for Okura and Company on October 29, 1998 
(63 FR 58009). The review covers the period August 1, 1997 through July 
31, 1998.
    Because of the complexity of certain issues, it is not practicable 
to complete these reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limit for the final results to 
March 5, 2000 (see Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. 
LaRussa, ``Extension of Time Limit of the Administrative Antidumping 
Duty Review of Oil Country Tubular Goods from Japan''). This extension 
of time limit is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: January 4, 2000.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
