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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 6, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doreen Chen or Robert Bolling, Office 
IX, DAS Group III, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: The Department of Commerce 
(the Department) is postponing the preliminary results in the 
antidumping administrative review of Certain Stainless Steel Butt-weld 
Pipe Fittings (SSBWPF) from Taiwan. The deadline for issuing the 
preliminary results in this administrative review is now June 28, 2000.
    On July 29, 1999, the Department initiated this administrative 
review, setting February 29, 1999 as the date for issuing the 
preliminary results of the review. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 64 FR 41075 (July 29, 1999). On January 31, 2000 the 
Department issued a supplemental questionnaire to the respondent, Ta 
Chen Stainless Steel Pipe, Ltd. (Ta Chen). On February 2, 2000, Ta Chen 
requested an extension of time to respond to the Department's 
supplemental questionnaire from February 14, 2000 to March 15, 2000. On 
February 11, 2000, we granted Ta Chen an extension until March 3, 2000 
to respond to our supplemental questionnaire. Further, for the reasons 
stated in the February 24, 2000 memorandum from Edward Yang to Joseph 
Spetrini: Extension of Time Limit for the Administrative Review of 
Certain Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan, we 
determine that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
normal time frame and are therefore extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of SSBWPF from Taiwan 
by 120 days, in accordance with section 751(a)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended.
    The date for issuing the preliminary results is moved from February 
29, 2000 to June 28, 2000.

    Dated: February 23, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
