The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act)

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

all citations to the Department of

Commerce’s (the Department’s)

regulations are to 19 C.F.R. Part 351

(1998).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results

The Department of Commerce (the

Department) received a request to

conduct an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on Gray

Portland Cement and Clinker from

Mexico. On October 1, 1999, the

Department initiated this administrative

review covering the period August 1,

1998, through August 31, 1999.

Because of the complexity and timing

of certain issues in this case, it is not

practicable to complete this review

within the time limit mandated by

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Following initiation of the

administrative review, we received an

allegation of sales below cost. We have

completed our analysis of the cost

allegation and are in the process of

conducting a cost investigation.

However, since we did not receive the

allegation of sales below cost until more

than three months after initiation of the

administrative review, we are unable to

complete our analysis before the current

deadline. Therefore, the Department is

extending the time limit for the

preliminary results to August 30, 2000.

The Department intends to issue the

final results of review 120 days after the

publication of the preliminary results.

This extension of the time limit is in

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Dated: April 19, 2000.

Richard Moreland,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

AGENCY

Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control

Program: Approval Decision on

California Coastal Nonpoint Pollution

Control Program

AGENCY: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, and The U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to approve the

California Coastal Nonpoint Program.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the

intent to fully approve the California

Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control

Program (coastal nonpoint program) and

of the availability of the draft Approval

Decisions on conditions for the

California coastal nonpoint program.

Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act

Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA),

16 U.S.C. section 1455b, requires states

and territories with coastal zone

management programs that have

received approval under section 306 of

the Coastal Zone Management Act to

develop and implement coastal

nonpoint programs. Coastal states and

territories were required to submit their

coastal nonpoint programs to the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA) and the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

for approval in July 1995. NOAA and

EPA conditionally approved the

California coastal nonpoint program on

June 30, 1998. NOAA and EPA have

drafted approval decisions describing

how California has satisfied the

conditions placed on its program and

therefore has a fully approved coastal

nonpoint program.

NOAA and EPA are making the draft

decisions for the California coastal

nonpoint program available for a 30-day

public comment period. If no comments

are received, the California program will

be approved. If comments are received,

NOAA and EPA will consider whether

such comments are significant enough

to affect the decision to fully approve

the program.

Decisions can be found on the NOAA
