Notice of Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty 
Determination: Canned Pineapple Fruit From Thailand

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Brinkmann (202-482-5288) or 
Michelle Frederick (202-482-0186), Office of Antidumping 
Investigations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20230.

POSTPONEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: The Department of Commerce 
(``the Department'') is postponing the preliminary determination in the 
antidumping duty investigation of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand. 
The deadline for issuing this preliminary determination is now no later 
than January 4, 1995.
    On June 28, 1994, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
investigation of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand (59 FR 34408, 
July 5, 1994). The notice stated that we would issue our preliminary 
determination on November 15, 1994.
    On July 25, 1994, the U.S. International Trade Commission 
determined that there was a likelihood that a U.S. domestic industry 
was materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason 
of imports of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand.
    On October 21, 1994, pursuant to 19 CFR 353.15(c), Maui Pineapple 
Co., Ltd. and the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's 
Union, the petitioners, requested that the Department postpone until 
January 4, 1995, the issuance of its preliminary determination in the 
above investigation in order to allow the Department the opportunity to 
include a sales below the cost of production analysis in the 
calculation of dumping margins at the preliminary determination. 
Petitioners' request for postponement was timely, and the Department 
finds no compelling reasons to deny the request. Therefore, we are 
postponing the deadline for issuing this determination until no later 
than January 4, 1995.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 353.15(d).

    Dated: October 26, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
