Postponement

    On September 20, 1994, three of the four respondents in the 
antidumping duty investigation of fresh cut roses from Ecuador 
requested that the Department postpone the final determination in that 
investigation 127 days, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)(2)(A)), in 
order to ensure that the Department has adequate time to conduct 
verification and to consider fully all the issues in the case. In 
addition, on September 27, 1994, Asocolflores, the Colombian Flower 
Growers Association, as well as fourteen of the sixteen Colombian 
respondents in the antidumping duty investigation of fresh cut roses 
from Colombia, requested that the Department postpone the final 
determination in the Colombian investigation 128 days in order to 
ensure that the Department has adequate time to conduct verification 
and to consider fully all the issues in the cases, in accordance with 
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act. On September 27, 1994, the fourth 
Ecuadorian respondent requested that the Department align the final 
determination dates in the Colombian and Ecuadorian cases. Finally, on 
September 28, 1994, the other Ecuadorian respondents requested that the 
Department also align the final determination dates by postponing the 
final determination 128 days.
    We find no compelling reasons to deny these requests and are, 
accordingly, postponing the dates of the final determinations for both 
cases until not later than January 26, 1995, pursuant to 19 CFR 
353.20(b)(1).
    This notice is published pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1673d(d)) and 19 CFR 353.20(b)(2).

    Dated: September 28, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
