Sorbitol From France; Time Limits

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of 
antidumping duty administrative review.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the 1999-2000 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on sorbitol from France. This 
review covers one exporter of the subject merchandise to the United 
States, Amylum France and Amylum SPI Europe (collectively, Amylum). The 
period of review is April 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 5, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Baker at (202) 482-2924 or Robert 
James at (202) 482-0649, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department initiated this administrative 
review on June 2, 2000 (65 FR 35320). Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff 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 of 365 days. Because of the complexity of 
researching whether or not Amylum entries during the period of review 
(POR), and the need to allow parties the opportunity to comment on the 
results of our research prior to issuing preliminary results of review, 
we are extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary 
results until April 30, 2001. See Memorandum from Richard Weible to 
Joseph Spetrini, titled, ``Extension of Time Limit for the April 1999 
through March 2000 Administrative Review,'' dated the same date as the 
publication of this notice, on file in room B-099 of the main Commerce 
building. The deadline for the final results will continue to be 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.
