Industrial Phosphoric Acid from Israel (C-508-605) and Industrial 
Phosphoric Acid From Belgium (A-423-602): Extension of Time Limit for 
Final Results of Five-Year Reviews

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of five-
year (``sunset'') reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of the sunset reviews on the 
antidumping duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Belgium and 
the countervailing duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from 
Israel. Based on adequate

responses from domestic interested parties and respondent interested 
parties, the Department is conducting full sunset reviews to determine 
whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy. As 
a result of this extension, the Department intends to issue its 
preliminary results not later than September 17, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 25, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith, Martha V. Douthit or 
Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 
14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, (202) 
482-3207 or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Belgium and 
the countervailing duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Israel 
are extraordinarily complicated. In accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
the Department may treat a review as extraordinarily complicated if it 
is a review of a transition order (i.e., an order in effect on January 
1, 1995). See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of 
these reviews until not later than September 17, 1999, in accordance 
with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The final results of these 
reviews will, therefore, be due not later than January 25, 2000.

    Dated: June 21, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
