Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Full Five-Year 
Reviews

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

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

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of six full sunset reviews 
initiated on September 1, 1999 (64 FR 47767) covering various 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Based on adequate responses 
from domestic and respondent interested parties, the Department is 
conducting full sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of the 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy. As 
a result of these extensions, the Department intends to issue its 
preliminary results not later than March 20, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young or Melissa G. Skinner, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560 
respectively.

Extension of Preliminary Results

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department may treat a sunset 
review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition 
order (i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995). The reviews at 
issue concern transition orders within the meaning of section 
751(c)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act. The Department has determined that the 
sunset reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing duty 
orders are extraordinarily complicated:

C-428-817 Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Flat Products from Germany
C-428-817 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from 
Germany
C-428-817 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Germany
A-588-826 Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Japan
A-421-804 Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from The 
Netherlands
A-485-803 Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania

    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of these reviews until not later 
than March 20, 2000, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the 
Act.
