Postponement
On August 19, 1997, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
initiated the countervailing duty investigation of stainless steel wire
rod from Italy. See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty
Investigation: Certain Stainless Steel Wire Rod (``SSWR'') from Italy,
62 FR 45229 (Aug.
[[Page 52086]]
26, 1997). Respondents have indicated that they will be cooperating in
the investigation. In addition, we are investigating a large number of
potentially complex alleged countervailable subsidy practices.
Accordingly, as detailed in our September 23, 1997, Memorandum to
Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, (on
file in the public file of the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the
Department of Commerce) we deem this investigation to be
extraordinarily complicated, and determine that additional time is
necessary to make the preliminary determination. Therefore, pursuant to
section 703(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''),
we are postponing the preliminary determination in this investigation
to no later than December 29, 1997.
This notice is published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act.
Dated: September 30, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
