Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe From

Mexico: Postponement of Preliminary

Determination of Antidumping Duty

Investigation

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of postponement of

preliminary determination of

antidumping duty investigation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 25, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Statutory Time Limits

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires

the Department of Commerce (the

Department) to issue the preliminary

determination of an antidumping duty

investigation within 140 days after the

date of initiation. However, if the case

is extraordinarily complicated and

additional time is necessary to make the

preliminary determination, and the

parties concerned are cooperating in the

investigation, section 733(c)(1)(B) of the

Act allows the Department to extend the

time limit for the preliminary

determination until not later than 190

days after the date of initiation.

Background

On January 30, 2001, the Department

initiated the above-referenced

investigation. See Notice of Initiation of

Antidumping Duty Investigations:

Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe from

Mexico and Japan, 66 FR 11266

(February 23, 2001). The preliminary

determinations are currently due no

later than June 19, 2001.

Extension of Preliminary Determination

The Department has now concluded,

consistent with section 733(c)(1)(B) of

the Act, that this investigation is

extraordinarily complicated, and that

additional time is necessary to issue the

preliminary determination due to the

complexity of certain issues raised in

these cases, including the complexity of

the transactions to be investigated and

adjustments to be considered and the

novelty of the issues presented.

Specifically, the Department must

investigate complicated matters of

affiliation between the respondent and

another producer. Simultaneously, it

must analyze and respond to

petitioners’ recent allegation of salesbelow-cost.

Therefore, in light of the fact that the

parties to this proceeding have been

cooperating, pursuant to section

733(c)(1) of the Act, and that additional

time is necessary to make this

preliminary determination in

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B)(ii)

of the Act, the Department is postponing

the deadline for issuing this

determination until August 8, 2001.

Dated: June 4, 2001.

Physiology Setup. Manufacturer: Luigs

and Neumann, Germany. Intended Use:

The instrument is intended to be used

to prepare acute slices of the rat and

mouse brain. These slices will then be

visualized under the microscope,

microelectrodes will be inserted into

single, optically identified nerve cells

and stimulation electrodes placed in

other identified regions of the brain

slice. The main research objective is to

understand neuronal information

acquisition, processing and storage in

the mammalian brain under

physiological and pathological

conditions. A main focus will be on

brain structures involved in sensory

perception, memory storage and motor

control. In addition, the instrument will

be used for guided research training for

ACTION: Notice of solicitation of

comments on a request for modification

of tariff rate quota limitations on the

import of certain worsted wool fabrics.

DATES: To be considered, comments

must be received or postmarked by 5:00

p.m. on July 2, 2001

ADDRESSES: Comments must be

submitted to: Deputy Assistant

Secretary for Textiles, Apparel and

Consumer Goods Industries, Room

3001, United States Department of

Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230. Six

copies of comments should be

submitted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Sergio Botero, Office of Textiles and

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,

(202) 482-4058.

The Department of Commerce

(Department) hereby solicits comments

on a request for an increase in the

limitations on the quantity of imports of

certain worsted wool fabric under the

2001 tariff rate quotas established by the

Trade and Development Act of 2000. To

be considered, comments must be

received or postmarked by 5:00 p.m. on

July 2, 2001 and must comply with the

requirements of 15 CFR 340 (66 FR

6459, published January 22, 2001).

Thirty days after the end of the

comment period, the Department will

determine whether the limitations

should be modified.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Title V of the Trade and Development

Act of 2000 (the Act) creates two tariff

rate quotas, providing for temporary

reductions in the import duties on two

categories of worsted wool fabrics

suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers. For worsted

wool fabric with average fiber diameters

greater than 18.5 microns (new

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS) heading

9902.51.11), the reduction in duty is

limited to 2,500,000 square meter

equivalents per year. For worsted wool

fabric with average fiber diameters of

18.5 microns or less (new HTS heading

9902.51.12), the reduction is limited to

1,500,000 square meter equivalents per

year. Both these limitations may be

modified by the President, not to exceed

1,000,000 square meter equivalents per

year for each tariff rate quota.

The Act requires the annual

consideration of requests by U.S.

manufacturers of men’s or boys’ worsted

wool suits, suit-type jackets and trousers

for modification of the limitations on

the quantity of fabric that may be

imported under the tariff rate quotas,

and grants the President the authority to

proclaim modifications to the

limitations. In determining whether to

modify the limitations, specified U.S.

market conditions with respect to

worsted wool fabric and worsted wool

apparel must be considered. On January

22, 2001, the Department published

regulations establishing procedures for

considering requests for modification of

the limitations. 66 FR 6459, 15 CFR 340.

On March 29, 2001, the Department

published a notice in the Federal

Register soliciting requests for

modification of the tariff rate quota

limitations. The Department received

one such request, from Hartmarx
