EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1998. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward Easton or John Brinkmann, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1777 and (202) 482-5288, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postponement of Preliminary Results of the First Administrative Reviews On August 28, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated the first administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on certain pasta from Italy and Turkey, covering the period January 19, 1996, through June 30, 1997 (62 FR 45621). Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. The original deadline for the preliminary results of these reviews was April 2, 1998. However, when it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) allows the Department to extend this time period up to 365 days. Accordingly, on January 28, 1998, the Department extended the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of the administrative review by 90 days (63 FR 4218). The current extended deadline for the preliminary results of these reviews is July 1, 1998. We have now concluded, however, that the full 120-day extension is necessary. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of these administrative reviews by 30 additional days, or until July 31, 1998. We plan to issue the final results of these administrative reviews within 120 days after publication of the preliminary results. These extensions are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Dated: June 3, 1998. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
