Postponement

    On December 2, 1993, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
initiated antidumping duty investigations of silicomanganese from 
Brazil and Venezuela. On March 25, 1994, Elkem Metals Company and the 
Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers Local 3-639 (petitioners), requested 
that the Department postpone its preliminary determinations until June 
10, 1994, in order to allow the Department to consider and act upon the 
sales-below-cost allegations submitted by petitioners, and to further 
evaluate the deficiencies in respondents' questionnaire responses.
    In accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(the Act), as amended and 19 CFR 353.15(c), we find no compelling 
reasons to deny petitioners' request and are, accordingly, postponing 
the dates of these preliminary determinations until no later than June 
10, 1994.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

    Dated: March 30, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
