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

Background

    On February 26, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from Verson Division of Allied Products Corporation 
for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
mechanical transfer presses from Japan. On March 19, 1999, the 
Department initiated this administrative review covering the period of 
February 1, 1998 through January 31, 1999 (64 FR 14860, published March 
29, 1999).

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 Mechanical Transfer Presses from Japan, 
dated October 19, 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 
February 28, 2000. The final results continue to be due 120 days after 
the publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: October 20,1999.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
