Postponement of Final Determination: On June 8, 1994, (59 FR 30911,
June 16, 1994), the Department of Commerce (the Department) issued its
preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of
certain cased pencils from the PRC.
On July 21, 1994, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) respondents requested that
the Department postpone its final determination in this investigation
until 135 days after the date of publication of the preliminary
determination. Under section 735(a)(2) of the Act and section 353.20(b)
of the Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.20(b)) if, subsequent to an
affirmative preliminary determination, the Department receives a
written, substantiated request for postponement of the final
determination from producers or resellers of a significant proportion
of the merchandise, the Department will, absent compelling reasons for
denial, grant the request. Accordingly, we are postponing our final
determination in this investigation until October 21, 1994.

comments in at least ten copies must now be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration no later than September 19, 1994,

requests for a hearing by the petitioner and respondents and,
therefore, under 19 CFR 353.38(f), we will hold a public hearing to
allow parties to comment on arguments raised in the case or rebuttal
briefs. Tentatively, the hearing will be held on October 5, 1994, at
