published for the most recent period; (3)

if the exporter is not a firm covered in

this review, a previous review, or the

original LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

and/or exporters of this merchandise,

shall be 12.45 percent, the ‘‘all others’’

rate established in the LTFV

investigation (59 FR 66915, December

28, 1994).

These requirements, when imposed,

shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next

administrative review.

This notice also serves as a

preliminary reminder to importers of

their responsibility under 19 CFR

353.26 to file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during this review period.

Failure to comply with this requirement

could result in the Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section 751(a)(1)

of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19

CFR 353.22(c).

Extension of Time Limit of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit

of antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) is extending the time

limit for the preliminary results in the

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on tapered

roller bearings (TRBs) from the People’s

Republic of China, covering the period

June 1, 1995, through May 31, 1996. The

Department has determined that it is not

practicable to complete this review

within the time limits mandated by

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

1930 (the Tariff Act), as amended.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kris

Campbell or Kristie Strecker, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th and Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230,

telephone: (202) 482–4733.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act are references

to the provisions effective January 1,

1995, the effective date of the

amendments made to the Tariff Act by

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Background

On August 8, 1996, the Department

initiated an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on tapered

roller bearings from the People’s

Republic of China, covering the period

June 1, 1995, through May 31, 1996 (61

FR 41375). In our notice of initiation we

stated that we intended to issue the

preliminary results of this reviews not

later than March 3, 1997.

Postponement of Preliminary Results of

Review

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

requires the Department to issue

preliminary results 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 of this

review within 245 days because we

must address complicated issues related

to separate rates, valuation of factors of

production, and facts available. See

Memorandum from Deputy Assistant

Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement to

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration, March 3, 1997, on file

in Room B–099 at the Department.

Accordingly, we are extending the

deadline for issuing the preliminary

results of this review. We intend to

issue the preliminary results of this

review by June 30, 1997. We will issue

the final results of review within 120

days after publication of the preliminary

results. This extension is in accordance

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

Act.

Dated: March 3, 1997.

Richard Moreland,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/

CVD Enforcement.

limit of 2.0 ng/L for Hg. This capability

is pertinent to the applicant’s intended

purposes and we know of no other

instrument or apparatus of equivalent
