Postponement

On January 26, 1995, the Department

of Commerce (the Department) issued

its preliminary determinations in the

antidumping duty investigations of oil

country tubular goods (OCTG) from

Italy, Mexico, and Spain (60 FR 6515,

6510, and 6516, respectively, February

2, 1995).

The following parties requested that

the Department postpone the final

determinations until 135 days after

publication of the preliminary

determinations in accordance with

section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (the Act) (19 U.S.C.

1673(a)(2)), and 19 CFR 353.20(b):

Dalmine S.p.A., the respondent in the

Italian investigation, on February 3,

1995; North Star Steel Ohio, the

Corporation, USS/Kobe Steel Company,

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

19 CFR 353.20(b), if, subsequent to the

preliminary determination, the

Department receives a request for

postponement of the final determination

from the petitioner if the preliminary

determination was negative, or the

respondent if the preliminary

determination was affirmative, then the

Department will, absent compelling

reasons for denial, grant the request. We

find no compelling reasons to deny the

requests, which were properly filed, and

are, accordingly, postponing the date of

the final determinations until no later

than June 19, 1995.

The U.S. International Trade

Commission is being advised of these

postponements in accordance with

section 733(b) of the Act.
