The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce has received a request to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Japan. The Department initiated this antidumping 
administrative review for Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. on September 
29, 1998 (63 FR 51893) and for Okura and Company on October 29, 1999 
(63 FR 58009). The review covers the period August 1, 1997 through July 
31, 1998.
    Because of the complexity of certain issues, it is not practicable 
to complete these reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 
to August 15, 1999. This extension of time limits is in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: March 1, 1999.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
