Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On January 26, 1998, 63 FR 5306 (February 2, 1998), the Department 
initiated antidumping duty investigations on imports of Certain 
Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, India, Indonesia, and the People's 
Republic of China. The notice of initiation stated that we would issue 
our preliminary determinations on or before June 15, 1998.
    On May 1, 1998, petitioners made a timely request pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.205(e) of the Department's regulations for a 40 day 
postponement of the preliminary determinations, until July 27, 1998, 
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act). Petitioners requested postponements in order to provide the 
Department with additional time to respond to alleged deficiencies in 
the questionnaire responses, and to ensure that the preliminary 
determinations for Chile and India include below cost analyses.
    Accordingly, we are postponing the preliminary determinations under 
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act for an additional 40 days. We will make 
our preliminary determinations no later than July 27, 1998.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.205(f).

    Dated: May 8, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
