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.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) received a request to 
conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Gray 
Portland Cement and Clinker from Mexico. On September 26, 2000, the 
Department initiated this administrative review covering the period 
August 1, 1999, through July 31, 2000.
    This case involves numerous complex issues including whether sales 
are outside the ordinary course of trade, model-matching, and the 
initiation of a sales-below-cost investigation. In addition, to allow 
time for verifications, should we determine that it is necessary to 
conduct verifications, it is not practicable to complete this review 
within the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 
Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results to August 31, 2001. The 
Department intends to issue the final results of review 120 days after 
the publication of the preliminary results. This extension of the time 
limit is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: April 16, 2001.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
