SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the
time limit for the preliminary results of the antidumping duty new
shipper administrative review and first administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of
China (PRC). This review covers the period October 1, 1996, through
March 31, 1998.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 10, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Smith or Everett Kelly, Import
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of

Postponement of Preliminary Results of Review
The Department initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping
duty order on brake rotors from the PRC (63 FR 28355) on May 22, 1998
and, on May 29, 1998, initiated the first administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the PRC (63 FR 29370).
Pursuant to section 351.214(j)(3) of its regulations, and with the
agreement of Yantai Chen Fu Machinery Co. Ltd., (Yantai Chen Fu) the
Department is conducting the 1996-1998 administrative review and the
new shipper review of Yantai Chen Fu concurrently. The current deadline
for the preliminary results in these reviews is January 4, 1999. In
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), as amended, we determine that it is not practicable to complete
these reviews within the original time frame because of the large
number of respondents.1 Further, in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department finds the concurrent new
shipper review extraordinarily complicated because it is being
conducted with the administrative review of a large number of
respondents. Thus the Department is extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results until April 30, 1999, which is
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order.
