results of the antidumping duty administrative review of the 
antidumping 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 31, 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, N.W., Washington, D.C. 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). 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. On 
January 5, 2001, the Department published in the Federal Register an 
extension of the time limit for the final results of this review until 
February 5, 2001 (66 FR 1078). However, 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 to administrative constraints, the Department 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the final results of 
this review within this time limit. Therefore, the Department is fully 
extending the deadline for the final results in this review to 180 days 
from the date on which the notice of preliminary results was published. 
The fully extended deadline for the final results is March 6, 2001.

    Dated: January 25, 2001.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement I.
