Certain Pasta From Italy: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 
New Shipper Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John Brinkmann or Sunkyu Kim, Office of AD/CVD Enforcement II, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-5288 or 482-2613, respectively.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results in the new shipper 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta 
from Italy. The period of review is July 1, 1996, through January 31, 
1997. This extension is made pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``the Act'') and the 
Department's regulations as published in the Federal Register on May 
11, 1995 (60 FR 25130).

Postponement of Preliminary Results of Review

    On February 20, 1997, the Department initiated this new shipper 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta 
from Italy (62 FR 8927, February 27, 1997). The current deadline for 
the preliminary results is August 19, 1997. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
353.22(h)(7), the Department has determined that this case is 
extraordinarily complicated and as such is extending the deadline for 
issuing the preliminary results. This extension is necessary to provide 
the Department additional time to consider certain issues of complex 
nature including the appropriate basis for calculating constructed 
export price and the nature of affiliation between the parties involved 
in this review.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(h)(7), the Department will extend 
the time for completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper 
review to no later than December 17, 1997. We plan to issue the final 
results within 90 days after the date the preliminary results are 
issued.
