Postponement of Final Determination
The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the final
determination in the antidumping investigation of live cattle from
Canada. The deadline for issuing the final determination in this
investigation is now no later than October 4, 1999.
On June 30, 1999, the Department issued its affirmative preliminary
determination in this proceeding. The notice stated we would issue our
final determination by September 13, 1999. See Notice of Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Live Cattle from
Canada, 64 FR 36847 (July 8, 1999).
On July 2, 1999, pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, the Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the named
respondents in this investigation requested that the Department
postpone the issuance of the final determination in this investigation
for 21 days. They also requested an extension of the provisional
measures (i.e., suspension of liquidation) period from four months to
four months and three weeks, in accordance with the Department's
regulations (19 CFR 351.210(e)(2)).
The respondents' request was timely, and the Department finds no
compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, we are extending this
final determination until October 4, 1999. Suspension of liquidation
will be extended accordingly.
In addition, because the countervailing duty investigation of live
cattle from Canada has been aligned with this investigation under
section 705(a)(1) of the Act, the time limit for completion of the
final determination in the countervailing duty investigation
[[Page 40352]]
will be the same date, October 4, 1999, as the final determination of
the concurrent antidumping investigation.
This notice of postponement is published pursuant to section 735(a)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
Dated: July 19, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
