antidumping duty order on color picture tubes (CPTs) from Japan,
covering the period January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1995, because

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 20, 1996, the Department initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on CPTs from Japan covering the
period January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1995 (61 FR 6347). In our
notice of initiation we stated that we intended to issue the final
results of this review not later than January 31, 1997.
Postponement of Preliminary Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue
preliminary results within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to issue the preliminary results in 245 days,
section 751(a)(3)(A) allows the Department to extend this time period
to 365 days.
We determine that it is not practicable to issue the preliminary
results of this review within 245 days because the review involves
collecting and analyzing data for a large volume of U.S. sales during
the period of review. Given the volume of this data, we must address
complicated issues related to further manufacturing and to our model
match methodology. See Memorandum from Office Director for AD/CVD
[[Page 55272]]
Enforcement to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, on
file on Room B-099 at the Department.
Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of
this review is now not later than January 30, 1997. The deadline for
issuing the final results will be 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results. This extension is in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Dated: August 30, 1996.
Barbara Stafford,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
