SUPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current 
regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351 (1998).

Background

    On March 31, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from Cablesa, S.A. de C.V. (Cablesa) for a new 
shipper review of its sales to the United States of merchandise subject 
to the antidumping duty order on carbon steel wire rope from Mexico. We 
initiated the review, which covers the period March 1, 1998 through 
February 28, 1999, on April 30, 1999 (Carbon Steel Wire Rope From 
Mexico: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 64 FR 24573 
(published May 7, 1999)).
    On March 29, 1999 and March 31, 1999, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(b)(1) and (2), the Department received requests from Aceros 
Camesa, S.A. de C.V. (Camesa), and the Committee of Domestic Steel Wire 
Rope and Specialty Cable Manufacturers, respectively, to conduct an 
administrative review of Camesa's sales to the United States of 
merchandise subject to the antidumping duty order on carbon steel wire 
rope from Mexico. The administrative review covers the period March 1, 
1998 through February 28, 1999, and was initiated on April 22, 1999 (64 
FR 23269, published April 30, 1999).

Postponement of Results of New Shipper Review

    On July 29, 1999, Cablesa submitted a waiver of the normal time 
limits for a new shipper review, as set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(i). 
Thus, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), we are conducting this 
new shipper review concurrently with the ongoing administrative review 
of carbon steel wire rope from Mexico. The signature date for 
preliminary results of review is now December 1, 1999.

    Dated: October 27, 1999.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
