(A–570–839)

Notice of Postponement of Preliminary

Antidumping Duty Determination:

Certain Partial-Extension Steel Drawer

Slides With Rollers From the People’s

Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

Brinkmann (202–482–5288) or Michelle

Frederick (202–482–0186), Office of

Antidumping Investigations, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY

DETERMINATION: On November 21, 1994,

the Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) initiated an antidumping

duty investigation of certain partialextension steel drawer slides with

rollers (‘‘drawer slides’’) from the

People’s Republic of China (PRC) (59 FR

60773, November 28, 1994). The notice

of initiation stated that if this

investigation proceeds normally, the

Department would issue its preliminary

determination on or before April 9,

1995.

On December 15, 1994, the U.S.

International Trade Commission

determined that there is a reasonable

indication that a U.S. domestic industry

is threatened with material injury by

reason of imports of drawer slides from

the PRC (59 FR 65787, December 21,

1994).

This investigation is rendered

extraordinarily complicated by the

novel issue of government ownership of

exporters of subject merchandise.

Furthermore, information available to

the Department indicates that there are

many producers/exporters of the subject

merchandise. The process of identifying

all exporters who sold subject

merchandise to the United States during

the POI caused significant delays in

issuing our questionnaire. In addition,

we determine at this time that

respondent parties in this investigation

appear to be cooperating.

For these reasons, pursuant to

sections 733(c)(1)(B)(i) (II) and (III) of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Act), we determine that this

investigation is extraordinarily

complicated and that additional time is

necessary to make the preliminary

determination in accordance with

733(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act. Therefore, we

are postponing our preliminary

determination in this investigation until

no later than May 30, 1995.

This notice is published pursuant to

section 733(c)(2) of the Act of 1930, as

amended, and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

Dated: March 3, 1995.
