Certain Fresh Cut Flowers From

Colombia: Extension of Time Limit of

Antidumping Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is extending the time limit for the

preliminary results in the administrative

review of the antidumping order on

certain fresh cut flowers from Colombia,

covering the period March 1, 1996,

through February 28, 1997, since it is

not practicable to complete the review

within the time limits mandated by

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

1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1675

(a)(3)(A).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 15, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marian Wells or Rosa Jeong, Import

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Room 3099, 14th and

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–6309 or

482–1278, respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (URAA). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department of Commerce’s (the

Department’s) regulations are to the

regulations codified at 19 CFR part 353

(April 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 15, 1997, the Department

initiated an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on Fresh Cut

Flowers from Colombia (Flowers),

covering the period March 1, 1996,

through February 28, 1997 (62 FR

18312). In our notice of initiation, we

stated that we intended to issue the final

results of this review no later than

March 31, 1998.

Postponement of the Preliminary

Results

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act

requires the Department to make a

preliminary determination within 245

days after the last day of the anniversary

month of an order for which a review

is requested. However, if it is not

practicable to issue the preliminary

results in 245 days, section 751(a)(3)(A)

allows the Department to extend this

time period to 365 days.

We determine that it is not practicable

to issue the preliminary results within

245 days because of the large number of

respondents and the complexity of the

legal and methodological issues in this

review.

Accordingly, the deadline for issuing

the preliminary results of this review is

now no later than January 26, 1998. The

deadline for issuing the final results of

this review will be 120 days from the

publication of the preliminary results.

This extension is in accordance with

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

Dated: October 8, 1997.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary AD/CVD

Enforcement.

Colombia: Initiation of a Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is initiating a changed circumstance

review to determine whether Flores El

Talle Ltda. is covered under the

revocation granted to the Flores

Colombianas Group.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 15, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jennifer Yeske or Beth Graham, Import

respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

The Department is conducting this

administrative review in accordance

with section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (the Act). 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 Act

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are those

codified at 19 CFR Part 353 (April

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 18, 1987, the Department

published in the Federal Register (52

FR 8492) an antidumping duty order on

certain fresh cut flowers from Colombia.

On March 31, 1994, the antidumping

order was revoked in the fourth

administrative review as it applied to

the Flores Colombianas Group. In a

letter dated August 23, 1996, Flores El

Talle Ltda. (Flores El Talle) notified the

Department that the company shares the

same ownership and management with

the other Flores Colombianas Group

companies, and that Flores El Talle

should receive the same antidumping

duty treatment that is accorded the

Flores Colombianas Group.

Initiation of Review

The Department is initiating this

review to determine whether Flores El

Talle is a member of the Flores

Colombianas Group and, if so, whether

the revocation applicable to the Flores

Colombianas Group also applies to

Flores El Talle. If we determine that the

revocation is applicable to Flores El

Talle, we will instruct U.S. Customs

officials to liquidate all entries of

Colombian fresh flowers from Flores El

Talle without regard to antidumping

duties.

We are hereby notifying the public

that we are initiating a changed
