AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce
ACTION: Extension of time limits for preliminary results of antidumping
duty administrative review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending by 120 days the time
limit of the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People's
Republic of China (PRC) covering the period December 27, 1996, through
June 30, 1998, since it is not practicable to complete this review
within the time limits mandated by the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 4, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sunkyu Kim, at (202) 482-2613; or

International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF REVIEW: Section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a
final determination within 120 days after the date on which the
preliminary determination is published. However, section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act provides that when it is not practicable to complete the
review within the specified time period, the Department may extend this
time period by 120 days. We determine that it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results of this review within the original
time frame. See Decision Memorandum from Holly A. Kuga,
[[Page 10445]]
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, to Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant
Secretary. Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the preliminary
results of this review is now due no later than July 31, 1999. In
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we plan to issue the
final results of this administrative review within 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results.
Dated: February 26, 1999.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
