SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Postponement of Preliminary Results
On August 27, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
initiated the second administrative reviews of the antidumping duty
orders on certain pasta from Italy and Turkey, covering the period July
1, 1997 through June 30, 1998 (63 FR 45796). Section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
(``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. However, if it is not practicable to complete the reviews
within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend this time period to up to 365 days. Accordingly,
on March 12, 1999, the Department extended the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results of the administrative review by
90 days (64 FR 12287). We have now concluded, however, that the full
120-day extension is necessary. Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of
these administrative reviews by the full 120 days, or until August 2,
1999. We plan to issue the final results of these administrative
reviews within 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.
These extensions are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Dated: June 4, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
