FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marian Wells, Melanie Brown, Office of

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: On November 14, 2000, the 
Department initiated the countervailing duty investigation of pure 
magnesium from Israel. See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty 
Investigation: Pure Magnesium From Israel, 65 FR 68126 (November 14, 
2000). The preliminary determination currently must be issued by 
January 10, 2001.
    On December 8, 2000, the petitioners made a timely request pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.205(e) of the Department's regulations for a postponement 
of the preliminary determination in accordance with section 
703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The 
petitioners requested a postponement until February 14, 2001, in order 
to allow time for petitioners to submit comments regarding the 
respondents' questionnaire response and to allow time for the 
Department to determine the extent to which particular subsidies are 
being used.
    The petitioners' request for the postponement was timely, and the 
Department finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, 
we are postponing the preliminary determination until no later than 
February 14, 2001.
    This notice of postponement is published pursuant to section 
703(c)(2) of the Act.

    Dated: December 19, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary For Import Administration.
