The Applicable Statute
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,
all citations to the Departments's regulations are to the current

Background
On December 30, 1998, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
received a request from
[[Page 71424]]
Avesta Sheffield Pipe Co.; Damascus Tube Division, Damascus-Bishop Tube
Co.; and the United Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO/CLC), herein
referred to as ``the domestic industry,'' for administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel
pipe from Korea. On January 25, 1999, the Department published its
initiation of this administrative review covering the period of
December 1, 1997 through November 30, 1998 (64 FR 3682).
Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results
Because of the reasons enumerated in the Memoranda from Joseph A.
Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the
Administrative Review of Certain Welded ASTM A-312 Stainless Steel Pipe
from Korea, dated December 13, 1999, it is not practical to complete
this review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to
December 20, 1999. The final results continue to be due 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary results.
Dated: December 13, 1999.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
