FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Bolling or Rick Johnson, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3434 or 482-0165, respectively.
Applicable Statute and Regulations
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's regulations are to the regulations set forth at 19 CFR part 355 (April 1997).
Postponement of Final Results
Under 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 of 365 days. On December 9, 1997, the Department of Commerce published in the Federal Register (62 FR 64806) the preliminary results of its administrative review of the agreement suspending the countervailing duty investigation on certain refrigeration compressors from the Republic of Singapore. Because of the complexity of certain issues in this case, it is not practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 751 (a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the aforementioned review to June 8, 1998.
This extension of time limits is in accordance with section 751 (a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Dated: April 3, 1998. Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
