SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

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. Unless otherwise indicated, all citations 
to the Department of Commerce's (the Department) regulations are to 19

Background

    The preliminary results of this review were published in the 
Federal Register on August 8, 2000 (65 FR 48479). The final results are 
currently due no later than December 6, 2000.

Postponement

    Certain recent decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for 
the Federal Circuit have raised significant legal issues which must be 
considered in this case. Because of the complexity of these issues, it 
is not practicable to complete this review within the time limit 
mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of these final 
results for 60 days (i.e., until February 5, 2001).
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    October 5, 2000.
Louis Apple,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
