The period of review is April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 11, 2000.

The Applicable Statute

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

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received a request 
to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
electrolytic manganese dioxide from Greece. On May 20, 1999, the 
Department initiated this administrative review covering the period 
April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999. On May 8, 2000, the Department 
published the preliminary results of review in the Federal Register (65 
FR 26567).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    During this review complex issues have been raised regarding the 
viability of the foreign market and the comparability of the product 
sold in the exporting country. Due to the constraints on the resources 
available to analyze such issues appropriately, we require an 
extension. Therefore, because it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act the Department is extending the time limit for the final results to 
be 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary results. 
Therefore, our final results are due no later than November 6, 2000. 
This extension of the time limit is in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: August 4, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
