final results of these administrative

reviews within 120 days after

publication of the preliminary results.

B. New Shipper Review

On August 15, 1997, the Department

initiated a new shipper review relating

to the antidumping duty order on

certain pasta from Italy, covering the

period July 1, 1996 through June 30,

1997 (62 FR 44643, August 22, 1997).

The current deadline for the preliminary

results is February 11, 1998. Section

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act requires the

Department to make a preliminary

determination within 180 days after the

date on which the new shipper review

was initiated. However, if the

Department concludes that the case is

extraordinarily complicated, it may

extend the 180-day period to 300 days.

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of

the Act, the Department has determined

that this case is extraordinarily

complicated given the complex nature

of the issues similar to those in the first

administrative reviews, including an

allegation of sales below the cost of

production. In order to analyze the

issues specific to this case and to benefit

from the analyses of similar issues in

the administrative reviews, we are

extending the deadline for issuing the

preliminary results to no later than June

11, 1998. We plan to issue the final

results within 90 days after the date the

preliminary results are issued.

These extensions are in accordance

with sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and

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

Dated: January 22, 1998.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
