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 eight expedited sunset reviews 
initiated on November 2, 1999 (64 FR 59160) covering various 
antidumping 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 duty orders would be 
likely to lead to continuation of recurrence of dumping. As a result of 
these extensions, the Department intends to issue its final results not 
later than May 30, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 6, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young or Melissa G. Skinner,

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 duty orders are 
extraordinarily complicated:

A-570-806  Silicon Metal from the People's of China (``PRC'')
A-351-806  Silicon Metal from Brazil
A-357-804  Silicon Metal from Argentina
A-351-824  Silicomanganese from Brazil
A-570-828  Silicomanganese from the PRC
A-588-823  Electric Cutting Tools from Japan
A-583-820  Helical Spring Lock Washers from Taiwan
A-570-822  Helical Spring Lock Washers from the PRC

    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of these reviews until not later than 
May 30, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: February 29, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
