The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), are 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's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    On February 9, 1995, the Department of Commerce published an 
antidumping duty order on coumarin from the People's Republic of China 
(60 FR 7751). The Department received requests to conduct an 
administrative review of this antidumping duty order. The review was 
initiated on March 30, 2000 for Jiangsu Native Produce Import & Export 
Corp. (Jiangsu) at the request of petitioner (65 FR 16875), and on June 
2, 2000 for Netchem Inc. (Netchem) at the request of Netchem (65 FR 
35320). On July 31, 2000, Jiangsu submitted a letter to the Department 
stating that it would no longer participate in the review. This 
antidumping duty administrative review covers the period of February 1, 
1999 through January 31, 2000.
    Because of the complexity of certain issues, it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the time limit mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results 
to no later than February 28, 2001 (See Memorandum from Barbara E. 
Tillman to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit, October 12, 
2000).

    Dated: October 13, 2000.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
