[[Page 43042]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department received requests to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping order on fresh garlic from the PRC. On August 16, 1995, the Department published a notice of initiation of this administrative review covering the period July 11, 1994, through October 31, 1995. The Department adjusted the time limits by 28 days due to the government shutdowns, which lasted from November 14, 1995, to November 20, 1995, and from December 15, 1995, to January 6, 1996. See Memorandum to the file from Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, January 11, 1996. As adjusted, the current time limits are August 23, 1996, for the preliminary results and December 23, 1996, for the final results. It is not practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results to December 23, 1996. See memorandum to Susan Kuhbach entitled ``Extension of time limit for 1994-95 antidumping duty administrative review of fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China.'' The final results will be due 120 days from the publication of the preliminary results. Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b). These extensions are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Dated: August 12, 1996. Susan Kuhbach, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
