Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Full Five-Year 
Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of 
full five-year (``sunset'') reviews.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of two full sunset reviews initiated on December 1, 
1999 (64 FR 67247), covering an antidumping and countervailing duty 
order. Based on adequate responses from domestic and respondent 
interested parties, the Department of Commerce is conducting full 
sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty 
order on aramid fiber formed of poly para-phenylene terephthalamide 
from the Netherlands and the countervailing duty order on grain-
oriented electrical steel from Italy would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidy, 
respectively. As a result of these extensions, the Department of 
Commerce intends to issue its preliminary results not later than June 
19, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 27, 2000.

Extension of Preliminary Results

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department of Commerce (``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). Because the sunset reviews at issue concern 
transition orders within the meaning of section 751(c)(6)(C)(i) and 
(ii) of the Act, the Department has determined that the sunset reviews 
of the following antidumping and countervailing duty orders are 
extraordinarily complicated:

A-421-805  Aramid Fiber Formed of Poly Para-Phenylene Terephthalamide 
from the Netherlands
C-475-812  Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel from Italy

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of these reviews until not later than June 19, 
2000,

    Dated: March 20, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
