Porcelain-on-Steel Cookware from Mexico: Notice of Extension of 
Time Limit for Preliminary Results in Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 17, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dinah McDougall at (202) 482-3773, or 
Rebecca Trainor at (202) 482-4007, Office 2, AD/CVD Enforcement Group 
I, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the thirteenth administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico, 
which covers the period December 1, 1998, through November 30, 1999.

APPLICABLE STATUTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), are references 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, all citations to the Department 
of Commerce (the Department) regulations are to 19 CFR Part 351 (April 
2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 
the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication 
of the order. The Act further provides, however, that the Department 
may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in this thirteenth administrative review of 
porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico within this time limit due to 
the need to issue verification reports and to conduct numerous margin 
programming changes resulting from verification findings prior to the 
preliminary results.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the preliminary 
results of this review until October 16, 2000.

    Dated: August 14, 2000.
Louis Apple,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
