SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

We have determined that this review will require the analysis of additional factors not present in prior reviews. See the January 5, 2000, Memorandum from Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement Richard W. Moreland to Assistant Secretary for Import Administration Robert S. LaRussa on file in the public file of the Central Records Unit, B-099 of the Department. Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., March 2, 2000), the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results to not later than June 30, 2000, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (“the Act”).
