ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limits For Preliminary Results of Administrative Review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EFFECTIVE DATE: August 26, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Strollo or Maureen Flannery, AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3782 or (202) 482-3020, respectively. The Applicable Statute Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Departments's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351, (1999). Background On December 30, 1998, the Department of Commerce (the Department) received a request from Avesta Sheffield Pipe Co., Damascus Tube Division, Damascus-Bishop Tube Co., and the United Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO/CLC), herein referred to as ``the domestic industry,'' for administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from Korea. On January 25, 1999, the Department published its initiation of this administrative review covering the period of December 1, 1997 through November 30, 1998 (64 FR 3682). Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the Administrative Review of Certain Welded ASTM A-312 Stainless Steel Pipe from Korea, dated August 17, 1999, it is not practical to complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to December 13, 1999. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. Dated: August 17, 1998. Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
