The Applicable Statute

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

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce has received a request to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Japan. The Department initiated this review for 
Hallmark Tubulars Ltd., Itochu Corporation, Itochu Project Management 
Corp., Nippon Steel Corp., and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. on 
October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53318). The review covers the period August 1, 
1998 through July 31, 1999.
    Because of the complexity of certain issues, it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the time limit mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results 
to August 11, 2000 (See Memorandum from Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. 
Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit, April 7, 2000).

    Dated: April 7, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
