EFFECTIVE DATE: August 3, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Valerie Ellis at (202) 482-2336 or 
Charles Riggle at (202) 482-0650, AD/CVD Enforcement, Office V, DAS

Postponement of Final Determinations

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the final 
determination in the antidumping duty investigation of certain 
expandable polystyrene resins from Indonesia.
    On June 26, 2000, the Department published its preliminary 
determination in this investigation. See Notice of Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Expandable 
Polystyrene Resins From Indonesia, 65 FR 39349. The notice stated that 
the Department would issue its final determination no later than 75 
days after the date of issuance of the notice.
    Pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), on July 11, 2000, PT Risjad Brasali Styrindo (RBS), 
the sole respondent in the investigation, requested that the Department 
postpone its final determination. Further to this request, RBS 
requested that the Department extend to not more than six months the 
application of the provisional measures prescribed under paragraphs (1) 
and (2) of section 733(d) of the Act. In accordance with section 735(a) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b), because the preliminary determination 
in this case is affirmative and the request for postponement was 
submitted in writing by an exporter who accounts for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise in this investigation, 
we are postponing the final determination until no later than 135 days 
after the publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal 
Register (i.e., until no later than November 8, 2000). Suspension of 
liquidation will be extended accordingly.
    This extension is in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2).

    Dated: July 27, 2000.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
