for    4 months and             one      month p r i o r         to the      expiry of           the p e r i o d of       validity

making       a proposal           regarding definitive                     measures          based       on  a    complete
analysis         of the        facts.

provisional           measures           in order          that the        Commission            c o u l d have     sufficient      time
