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

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 6, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Johnson at (202) 482-4929, or David J. Goldberger at (202) 482-4136, Office 5, AD/CVD Enforcement Group II, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20230.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the eleventh administrative review of the antidumping duty order on porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico for the period December 1, 1996, through November 30, 1997. This extension is made pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (hereinafter, ``the Act'').

POSTPONEMENT: Under the Act, the Department may extend the deadline for completion of an administrative review if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit of 365 days. The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the eleventh administrative review of certain porcelain-on-steel cookware from Mexico within this time limit due to a number of complex issues, including reimbursement, and resource constraints.

In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department will extend the time for completion for the preliminary results of this review from a 245-day period to a period no longer than 365 days. Therefore, the final results are now due by December 31, 1998.

Dated: July 28, 1998. Maria Harris Tildon, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
