Chloropicrin From the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Time Limit for Final Results of Five-Year Review

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

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

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results of the sunset review on the 
antidumping duty order on chloropicrin from the People's Republic of 
China. Based on adequate response from domestic interested parties and 
inadequate response (in this case no response) from respondent 
interested parties, the Department is conducting an expedited 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 final results not later 
than June 1, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith 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, or (202) 482-1560 
respectively.

Extension of Final Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on chloropicrin from the People's Republic of 
China 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 final results of this 
review until not later than June 1, 1999, in accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: March 2, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
