SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department initiated this new shipper

review on May 2, 1997 (62 FR 24088).

The current deadline for the preliminary

results is October 27, 1997. Pursuant to

19 CFR § 353.22(h)(7), the Department

has determined that this case is

extraordinarily complicated and,

therefore, is extending the deadline for

issuing the preliminary results. This

extension is necessary to provide the

Department additional time to consider

certain issues of complex nature,

including whether certain transactions

were home-market, third-country, or

U.S. sales, and the nature of homemarket customers (e.g., producers, endusers, or resellers to the United States).

In accordance with 19 CFR

§ 353.22(h)(7), the Department will

extend the time limit for completion of

the preliminary results of this new

shipper review to no later than January

27, 1998. We plan to issue the final

results within 90 days after the date the

preliminary results are issued.

This extension of time limit is in

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv)

of the Act.

Dated: September 29, 1997.

Potassium Permanganate From the

People’s Republic of China; Notice of

Rescission of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration/

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of rescission of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On January 30, 1997, Zunyi

Chemical Factory, a producer of

potassium permanganate in the People’s

Republic of China, requested that the

Department of Commerce conduct an

administrative review of their

merchandise for the period January 1,

1996, through December 31, 1996. On

March 3, 1997, we published a notice of

initiation of this antidumping duty

administrative review. This review has

now been rescinded as a results because

there have been on entries into the

United States of subject merchandise

during the period of review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 9, 1997.

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 31, 1984, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) published

in the Federal Register (49 FR 3898) the

antidumping duty order on potassium

permanganate from the People’s

Republic of China (PRC). On January 30,

1997, Zunyi Chemical Factory (Zunyi),

a producer of the subject merchandise,

requested that the Department conduct

an administrative review for the period

January 1, 1996, through December 31,

1996, in accordance with 19 CFR

353.22(a). On March 3, 1997, we

published a notice of initiation (62 FR

9413) of this antidumping duty

administrative review. Subsequently,

Zunyi reported that it had made no

shipments of the subject merchandise

during the period of review (POR). We

verified this information with the U.S.

Customs Service.

Because the only firm for which a

review was requested made no entries

into the Customs territory of the United

States during the POR, the Department

is rescinding this review. Moreover,

since Zunyi has never demonstrated

that it is an exporter entitled to a

separate rate, the cash deposit rate for

sales of the subject merchandise will

continue to be the rate established for

exporters of such merchandise or, if

Zunyi is the exporter, the PRC-wide rate

from the most recently completed

administrative review.

This notice is published in

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19

U.S.C. Sec. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR

353.22 (1996).

Dated: October 3, 1997.
