Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the 
preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of live 
cattle from Canada. The deadline for issuing the preliminary 
determination in this investigation is now no later than June 30, 1999.
    On December 30, 1998, the Department published its initiation of an 
antidumping investigation of live cattle from Canada. See Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty Investigations: Live Cattle from Canada and Mexico, 63 
FR 71886, 71889. The notice stated we would issue our preliminary 
determination by May 11, 1999.
    On April 7, 1999, pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Foundation 
(the petitioners) requested that the Department postpone the issuance 
of the preliminary determination in this investigation.
    The petitioners' request for postponement was timely, and the 
Department finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, 
we are postponing the deadline for issuing this determination until no 
later than June 30, 1999.
    This extension is in accordance with section 733(c) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.205(b)(2).

    Dated: April 12, 1999.

Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
