Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Turkey: Extension of 
Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Five-Year Review:

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 
Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the sunset review on the 
countervailing duty on welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Turkey. 
Based on adequate responses from domestic interested parties and 
respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting a full 
sunset review to determine whether revocation of the order would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable 
subsidy. As a result of this extension, the Department intends to issue 
its preliminary results not later than November 19, 1999 and its final 
results not later March 28, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 27, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathryn B. McCormick or Melissa G. 
Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1698 or (202) 482-1560, 
respectively.

Extension of Preliminary Results

    The Department has determined that the sunset review of the 
countervailing duty order on welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from 
Turkey is extraordinarily complicated. In accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
the Department may treat a review as extraordinarily complicated if it 
is a review of a transition order (i.e., an order in effect on January 
1, 1995). See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of 
this review until not later than November 19, 1999 and the final 
results until not later than March 28, 2000, in accordance with section 
751(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: August 23, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
