Irina Itkin at (202) 482-0656, Office of AD/CVD Enforcement, Import

Postponement of Final Results of New Shipper Review and Preliminary 
Results of Administrative Review

    The Department issued the preliminary results of the new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on static random access memory 
semiconductors from Taiwan on October 4, 1999 (64 FR 55251 (October 12, 
1999)). The current deadline for the final results in this review is 
December 31, 1999. In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (the ``Act''), as amended, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), 
the Department finds that this new shipper review cannot be completed 
within the original time frame due to the extraordinarily complicated 
nature of certain issues in this review. Thus, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results of the new 
shipper review until March 2, 2000, which is 150 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results were issued. See memorandum to Robert 
LaRussa, dated November 17, 1999.
    Moreover, because it is not practicable to complete the 
administrative review within the time limits mandated by the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act (245 days from the last day of the anniversary 
month for preliminary results, 120 additional days for final results), 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), 
the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of the administrative review

until April 29, 2000. See memorandum to Robert LaRussa, dated November 
17, 1999.
    These extensions are in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 
and 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: November 17, 1999.
Louis Apple,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
