The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received requests 
to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on 
antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts 
thereof (AFBs) from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, 
Sweden, and the United Kingdom. On June 30, 1999, the Department 
initiated these administrative reviews covering the period May 1, 1998, 
through April 30, 1999.
    Due to the large number of respondents involved in these reviews 
and the Department's resource constraints, it is not practicable to 
complete the AFB reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, the Department is extending the due 
date for the preliminary results to March 30, 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.

    Dated: January 27, 2000.
Laurie Parkhill,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
