SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is extending the time limit for the final results of the sunset review on the countervailing duty order on iron-metal castings from India. Based on adequate response from domestic interested parties and inadequate response (in this case no response) from respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting an expedited 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 final results not later than June 1, 1999. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jason M. Appelbaum or Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5050, or (202) 482–1560 respectively. Extension of Final Results The Department has determined that the sunset review of the countervailing duty order on iron-metal castings from India 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 areview 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 final results of this review until not later than June 1, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. Dated: March 2, 1999. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

ACTION: Notice of final results of sunset review and revocation of countervailing duty order: tillage tools from Argentina (C–351–406). SUMMARY: On December 2, 1998, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty order on tillage tools from Brazil. Because no domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking this order. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department issued a countervailing duty order on certain round-shaped agricultural tillage tools from Brazil (50 FR 42743, October 22, 1985). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department initiated a sunset review of this order by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal Register (63 FR 66527, December 2, 1998). In addition, as a courtesy to interested parties, the Department sent letters, via certified and registered mail, to each party listed on the Department’s most current service list for this proceeding to inform them of the automatic initiation of a sunset review on this order. In the sunset review of the countervailing duty order on tillage tools from Brazil, we received notices of intent to participate from Empire Plow Company (‘‘Empire’’) and from Osmundsom Manufacturing Company (‘‘Osmundsom’’) by the December 17, 1998, deadline (see section 351. 218(d)(1)(i) of Procedures for Conducting Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR 13520 (March 20, 1998) (‘‘Sunset Regulations’’).
