AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 15, 1998.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
final results of the first administrative review on canned pineapple 
fruit from Thailand. The Department has determined that it is not 
practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gabriel Adler or Kris Campbell, Office 
of AD/CVD Enforcement II, Import Administration, International Trade

Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 
482-1442 and (202) 482-3813, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 7, 1997, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of its 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on canned pineapple 
fruit from Thailand. See Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand; 
Preliminary Results and Partial Termination of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review (62 FR 42487). The review covers shipments of 
this merchandise to the United States during the period of review 
January 11, 1995, through June 30, 1996, and three manufacturers/
exporters of the subject merchandise: Siam Food Products Public Company 
Ltd., The Thai Pineapple Public Company, Ltd., and Thai Pineapple 
Canning Industry Corp., Ltd.
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) directs the Department to issue its final results of review within 
120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published, 
unless it is not practicable to complete the review in that period, in 
which case the Department may extend the period to 180 days. Because it 
is not practicable to complete this review within a 120-day period, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results until 180 days from the date of publication of our preliminary 
results of review. The deadline for issuance of our final results of 
review is thus February 3, 1998.

    Dated: December 5, 1997.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
