SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of a new shipper review of

February 1, 1999 through February 29, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 5, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Killiam or Robert James, AD/CVD

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute refer 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 Department's 
regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351 
(1999).

Background

    Based on a request from Snowdrop, and pursuant to section 351.214, 
on March 28, 2000 the Department initiated a new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain stainless steel flanges from India, 
covering the period February 1, 1999 through February 29, 2000 ( 65 FR 
17485, April 3, 2000). The preliminary results are currently due no 
later than September 24, 2000.

Postponement of Preliminary Results

    The Department has determined that the issues of this case are 
extraordinarily complicated and consequently, it is not practicable to 
issue the preliminary results of review within the original time limit. 
See Memorandum from Richard A. Weible to Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III, September 22, 2000. 
Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion 
of the preliminary results until January 22, 2001, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations. The deadline for the final results of this 
review will continue to be 90 days after date on which the preliminary 
results are issued, in accordance with section 351.214(i)(1).

    Dated: September 22, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
