Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Five-Year Reviews

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

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending the time limit for the final results of 23 expedited sunset reviews initiated on May 3, 1999 (64 FR 23596) covering various antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Based on adequate responses from domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting expedited sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable. As a result of these extensions, the Department intends to issue its final results not later than November 29, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Final Results

In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department may treat a review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order (i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995; see section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act). The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing duty orders are extraordinarily complicated:

A-583-008 Small Diameter Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube from Taiwan A-549-502 Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand A-533-502 Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from India A-489-501 Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Turkey A-122-506 Oil Country Tubular Goods from Canada A-583-505 Oil Country Tubular Goods from Taiwan A-559-502 Small Diameter Standard & Rectangular Pipe & Tube from Singapore A-583-803 Light Walled Rectangular Tubing from Taiwan A-357-802 Light Walled Rectangular Tubing from Argentina A-351-809 Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Brazil A-580-809 Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Korea A-201-805 Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico A-583-814 Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Taiwan A-307-805 Circular-Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Venezuela A-588-707 Granular Polytetrafluoroetheylene Resin from Japan A-475-703 Granular Polytetraflouroetheylene Resin from Italy A-351-602 Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Brazil A-583-605 Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Taiwan A-588-602 Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Japan A-570-814 Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from China A-549-807 Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Thailand A-484-801 Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from Greece A-588-806 Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from Japan

Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final results of these reviews until not later than November 29, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Dated: August 31, 1999. Richard W. Moreland, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
