study, input that may be provided by

government agencies, private

organizations, and the public,

Oglethorpe Power Corporation will

prepare an environmental analysis to be

submitted to RUS for review. RUS will

use the environmental analysis to

determine the significance of the

impacts of the project and may adopt it

as its environmental assessment of the

project. RUS’ environmental assessment

of the project would be available for

review and comment for 30 days.

Should RUS determine, based on the

environmental assessment of the

project, that the impacts of the

construction and operation of the plant

would not have a significant

environmental impact, it will prepare a

finding of no significant impact. Public

notification of a finding of no significant

impact would be published in the

Federal Register and in newspapers

with a circulation in the project area.

Any final action by RUS related to the

proposed project will be subject to, and

contingent upon, compliance with

environmental review requirements as

prescribed by CEQ and RUS

environmental policies and procedures.

(the Department) is extending the time

limit for the final results of the

antidumping duty administrative review

of grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES)

from Italy. The period of review is

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the

Act), as amended, 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. In addition, all

citations to the Department’s regulations

are to the regulations at 19 CFR Part 351

(1999).

Background

On August 31, 1999, AST requested

that the Department conduct an

administrative review of its exports of

grain-oriented electrical steel. The

Department initiated this administrative

review on October 1, 1999 (64 FR

53318). On September 7, 2000, we

published the preliminary results of

review in the Federal Register (65 FR

54215).

Extension of Time Limit for Final

Results

During this review complex issues

have been raised regarding the

classification of AST’s sales of GOES to

the United States. In order to analyze

this issue appropriately, the Department

sent an additional supplementary

questionnaire after the publication of

the Preliminary Results. Due to the time

constraints placed on the respondent to

answer this questionnaire and

petitioners to comment on the response,

we require an extension. Therefore,

because it is not practicable to complete

this review within the time limits

mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the

Act, the Department is extending the

time limit for the final results to be 180

days from the date of the publication of

the preliminary results. Therefore, our

final results are due no later than March

6, 2001. 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: September 27, 2000.
