DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
[A-570-840]
Notice of Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty
Determination: Manganese Metal From the People's Republic of China
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Commerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 1955.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cameron Werker (202-482-3874), Office
of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20230.
POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION:
On November 28, 1994, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') initiated the antidumping duty investigation of manganese
metal from the People's Republic of China (PRC) (59 FR 61869, December
2, 1994). The notice of initiation incorrectly reported the date of the
preliminary determination as April 27, 1995. The correct date is April
17, 1995.
On December 27, 1994, the U.S. International Trade Commission
determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. domestic
industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of
manganese metal from the PRC (60 FR 146-147, January 3, 1995).
Information available to the Department indicates that there may be
many producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. Further, although
requested, the PRC government has not yet identified those PRC
exporters that sold manganese metal to the United States during the
period of investigation. The Department is still attempting to identify
these PRC companies. This process of identifying all PRC producers/
exporters of the subject merchandise during the POI requires that we
determine that this investigation is extraordinarily complicated and
that additional time is necessary to make the preliminary
determination. Furthermore, the respondent parties in this
investigation have thus far cooperated with the requests of the
Department. Therefore, pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we are postponing our preliminary
determination in this investigation until no later than June 6, 1995.
This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act,
as amended, and 19 CFR 353.15(d).
Dated: February 15, 1995.
Barbara R. Stafford
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investigations.
