Gray Portland Cement and Clinker From Mexico; Notice of Extension 
of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limits for final results of 
antidumping duty administrative review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
final results of the antidumping duty administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on gray portland cement and clinker from Mexico. 
The review covers one manufacturer/exporter, CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. 
(CEMEX), and its affiliate, Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A. de C.V. (CDC). 
The period of review is August 1, 1998, through July 31, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 5, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Dirstine or Minoo Hatten, AD/CVD 
Enforcement Group I, Office 3, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-
4033 and (202) 482-1690, respectively.

The 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 (URAA). In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce's (the 
Department's) regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (1999).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    The Department published the preliminary results of this 
administrative review on September 7, 2000 (64 FR 54220). The deadline 
for completing the final results of review is January 5, 2000. Under 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department may extend the deadline 
for completion of an administrative review if it determines that it is 
not practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit. 
Due to the complexity of the issues in this case, such as whether 
certain sales are outside the ordinary course of trade and how 
difference-in-merchandise adjustments are calculated, and due to 
administrative constraints, the Department determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the final results of this review within the 
statutory time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for the final 
results of this review to February 5, 2000.

    Dated: December 27, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement I.
