-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending
the time limit for the preliminary results of the sixth antidumping
duty administrative review of the antidumping order on chrome-plated
lug nuts from Taiwan. This review covers 18 producers and exporters of
chrome-plated lug nuts. The period of review is September 1, 1996

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930
(``the Act'') are references to the provisions effective January 1,
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated,
all citations to the Department's regulations are references to the
provisions codified at 19 CFR 351.101, et seq. (62 FR 27269--May 19,
1997).
Extension of Preliminary Results
The Department initiated this administrative review on October 30,
1997 (62 FR 58705). Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the deadline for completion of an administrative
review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the
review within the statutory time limit of 365 days. On July 14, 1998,
we received a request from the respondent to extend the deadline for
the preliminary determination. Because of the complexity and novelty of
certain issues in this case, it is not practicable to complete this
review within the statutory time limit of 365 days. The Department,
therefore, is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of
the aforementioned review from August 3, 1998, to October 2, 1998. See
memorandum from Maria Harris Tildon to Robert S. LaRussa, which is on
file in Room B-099 at the Department's headquarters. The deadline for
the final results of this review will continue to be 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results.
This extension of time limit is in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's
regulations.
Dated: July 31, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group II.
