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 five expedited sunset reviews 
initiated on December 1, 1999 (64 FR 67247), 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 or recurrence of dumping. As a result of 
these extensions, the Department intends to issue its final results not 
later than June 28, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-6397.

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-588-831  Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel from Japan
A-475-811  Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel from Italy
A-570-831  Fresh Garlic from the People's Republic of China
A-570-826  Paper Clips from the People's Republic of China
A-570-827  Cased Pencils from the People's Republic of China

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the final results of these reviews until not later than June 28, 2000, 
in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: March 30, 2000.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
