1The International Trade Commission issued a

negative preliminary determination in the case

involving Thailand, on April 20, 2000. Therefore,

that case was terminated.

2 It was unnecessary to extend the provisional

measures for the Malaysian case because Kiswire

received a de minimis margin at the preliminary

determination, and, therefore, liquidation has not

been suspended for subject merchandise from

Malaysia.

this review was initiated, or within 45

days if all parties agree to our

preliminary determination. See section

351.216(e) of the Department’s

regulations.

If final revocation occurs, we will

instruct the U.S. Customs Service to end

the suspension of liquidation for the

merchandise covered by the revocation

effective on or after January 4, 1999, the

date of publication of the Department’s

preliminary LTFV determination (64 FR

108) and to release any cash deposit or

bond. See section 351.222(g)(4) of the

Department’s regulations. The current

requirement for a cash deposit of

estimated antidumping duties on all

subject merchandise will continue

unless and until it is modified pursuant

to the final results of this changed

circumstance review.

This initiation of review and notice

are in accordance with sections 751(b)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 351.221,

and 351.222.

Dated: October 19, 2000.

Postponement of Final Determinations

The Department of Commerce (the

Department) is postponing the final

determinations in the antidumping duty

investigations of steel wire rope from

Malaysia and the People’s Republic of

China (PRC).

On March 17, 2000, the Department

initiated antidumping investigations of

steel wire rope from India, Malaysia, the

PRC, and Thailand.1 See Initiation of

Antidumping Duty Investigations: Steel

Wire Rope from India, Malaysia, the

People’s Republic of China, and

Thailand, 65 FR 16173 (March 27,

2000). On September 25, 2000, we

issued the preliminary determinations

of these investigations. See Notice of

Preliminary Determinations of Sales at

Less Than Fair Value: Steel Wire Rope

from India and the People’s Republic of

China; Notice of Preliminary

Determination of Sales at Not Less Than

Fair Value: Steel Wire Rope from

Malaysia, 65 FR 58736 (October 2,

2000). The notice stated that the

Department would issue its final

determinations for the Malaysian and

PRC cases no later than 75 days after the

date of the preliminary determinations.

The notice also stated that we extended

the deadline for issuance of the final

determination in the Indian case to no

later than 135 days after the date of

publication of the preliminary

determination.

On September 27, 2000, the

Committee of Domestic Steel Wire Rope

and Specialty Cable Manufacturers (the

petitioners) requested that the

Department postpone the issuance of

the final determination in the

investigation of steel wire rope from

Malaysia. On October 4, 2000, Fasten

Group Import and Export Co., Ltd.

(Fasten), a respondent in the PRC case,

accounting for a significant proportion

of exports of the merchandise subject to

the investigation, requested that the

Department postpone the issuance of

the final determination in the

investigation of steel wire rope from the

PRC. Fasten also requested an extension

to the imposition of provisional

measures.2 The petitioners’ and Fasten’s

requests for postponement were timely,

and the Department finds no compelling

reason to deny them.

Therefore, in accordance with section

735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended, we are postponing the

deadline for issuing these

determinations until February 14, 2001,

which is 135 days after the date of the

publication of the preliminary

determinations.

Dated: October 23, 2000.

Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel

Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe

From Italy; Preliminary Results of

Sunset Review of Countervailing Duty

Order

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Full Sunset Review: Seamless Carbon

and Alloy Steel Standard, Line and

Pressure Pipe from Italy.

SUMMARY: On July 3, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) initiated a sunset review

of the countervailing duty order on

seamless carbon and alloy steel

standard, line and pressure pipe

(‘‘seamless pipe’’) from Italy (65 FR

41053) pursuant to section 751(c) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

Act’’). On the basis of substantive

responses filed by domestic and

respondent interested parties, the

Department determined to conduct a

full review. As a result of this review,

the Department preliminarily finds that

revocation of the countervailing duty

order would likely lead to continuation

or recurrence of subsidies at the levels

indicated in the Preliminary Results of

Review section of this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 27, 2000.
