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 (‘‘URAA’’). In addition,

all citations to the Department’s

regulations are to 19 CFR Part 351 (April

2000).

Postponement of Final Determinations

and Extension of Provisional Measures

On April 23, 2001, the Department

issued its affirmative preliminary

determination in the antidumping duty

investigation of pure magnesium from

Israel (see Notice of Preliminary

Determination of Sales at Less Than

Fair Value: Pure Magnesium from Israel,

66 FR 21325 (April 30, 2001) and its

negative preliminary determination in

the antidumping duty investigation of

pure magnesium from the Russian

Federation (‘‘Russia’’) (see Notice of

Preliminary Determination of Sales at

Not Less Than Fair Value: Pure

Magnesium from the Russian

Federation, 66 FR 21319 (April 30,

2001). These notices stated we would

issue our final determinations in these

investigations not later than 75 days

after the date of the preliminary

determinations.

On April 25, 2001, in accordance with

section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act and

section 351.210(b)(2)(i) of the

Department’s regulations, the

petitioners in this investigation (i.e.,

Magnesium Corporation of America, the

United Steelworkers of America, Locals

482 and 8319, and Concerned

Employees of Northwest Alloys, Inc.),

requested a 60-day postponement of the

final determination in the investigation

of pure magnesium from Russia.

Because the preliminary determination

for Russia was negative, the petitioners’

request serves as an adequate basis upon

which the Department may extend the

final determination.

In addition, on May 1, 2001, in

accordance with 16 CFR

351.210(b)(2)(ii), Dead Sea Magnesium

Ltd. (DSM), the respondent in the Israel

investigation, requested that the

Department grant a 60-day

postponement of the final determination

in that case. DSM also requested that the

Department extend provisional

measures to a period not to exceed six

months, in accordance with section

733(d) of the Act and section

351.210(e)(2) of the Department’s

regulations. Because the preliminary

determination for Israel was affirmative,

DSM’s request serves as an adequate

basis upon which the Department may

extend the final determination.

As no compelling reasons exist for

denying the requests for postponement

in either case, we are extending these

final determinations to not later than

135 days after the date of publication of

the preliminary determinations (i.e.,

until September 12, 2001). Suspension

of liquidation for Israel will be extended

accordingly.

Further, because the final

determination in the countervailing

duty investigation of pure magnesium

from Israel has been aligned with the

final determinations in the antidumping

duty investigations of pure magnesium

from Israel, Russia, and the People’s

Republic of China (see Notice of

Postponement of Preliminary

Determinations of Sales at Less Than

Fair Value: Pure Magnesium From

Israel, the Russian Federation, and the

People’s Republic of China and

Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty

Determination With Final Antidumping

Duty Determinations: Pure Magnesium

from Israel, 66 FR 14546 (March 13,

2001), we are postponing the final

determination in the countervailing

duty investigation until September 12,

2001, accordingly.

This notice of postponement is

published pursuant to section 735(a) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

Dated: May 7, 2001.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
