Tapered Roller Bearings From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Five-Year Review

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

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

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the sunset review on the 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings from the People's 
Republic of China. Based on adequate responses from domestic and 
respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting a full 
sunset review to determine whether revocation of the order would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. As a result of 
this extension, the Department intends to issue its preliminary results 
not later than October 18, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 26, 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, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone (202) 482-6397, 
(202) 482-3207 or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings from the People's 
Republic of China is 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 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings from the People's 
Republic of China was issued on June 15, 1987 (52 FR 22667) and, as 
such, is a transition order. Accordingly, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this review 
until not later than October 18, 1999, in accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The Department will, therefore, issue the 
final results of this review not later than February 25, 2000.

    Dated: July 20, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
