NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K,
11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra
sheets if needed):
Prior to June 1, 1998, the Millennium Savings and Investment
Plan (the "Plan") was a participant in the Millennium Chemicals Inc.
Retirement Savings and Investment Trust (the "Master Trust") along
with the Quantum Chemicals Retirement Savings and Investment Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Quantum Hourly Plan"). In December 1997,
Millennium Chemicals, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a joint
venture at which time approximately 55% of the participants in the
Plan became employees of the joint venture. On June 1, 1998, the
Plan assets related to the employees of the joint venture were
transferred out of the Master Trust to a separate trust maintained
by the joint venture together with the entire Quantum Hourly Plan.
Also, effective June 1, 1998 the remaining assets of the Plan were
transferred to a new trust. As a result of the transfers of assets
from the Master Trust, the Company, its recordkeeper and the
successor trustee of the Plan are in the process of reconciling
certain information with respect to the value of assets transferred
from the Master Trust. Accordingly, audited financial statements
are not yet available in order to complete the Form 11-K for the
Plan for the year ended December 31, 1998.
