Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received a request 
from petitioner and from respondent Ningbo Nanlian Frozen Foods 
Company, Ltd. to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic 
of China. On October 26, 1998, the Department initiated this 
antidumping administrative review covering the period of March 26, 1997 
through August 31, 1998 (see 63 FR 58010 dated October 29, 1998).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    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 Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 
to July 17, 1999. This extension of time limits is in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: March 5, 1999.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
