The Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results
The Department has received a request to conduct an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain fresh cut flowers from
Ecuador. On April 24, 1998, the Department initiated this
administrative review covering the period March 1, 1997 through
February 28, 1998.
Owing to certain issues surrounding this case, it is not
practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Memorandum from Richard Moreland
to Robert LaRussa, Re: Extension of Time Limit for Administrative
Review of Fresh Cut Flowers from Ecuador, November 24, 1998).
Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is extending
the time limits for the issuance of the preliminary results of review
to March 30, 1999. The Department intends to issue the final results of
review 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. This
extension of the time limit is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Dated: November 24, 1998.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
