Background

    On March 30, 1999,the Department received a request from Yancheng 
Haiteng Aquatic Products & Foods Co., Ltd. to conduct a new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat 
from the People's Republic of China. On May 6, 1999, the Department 
published its initiation of this new shipper review covering the period 
of September 1, 1998 through February 28, 1999 (64 FR 24328). On March 
15, 2000, the Department published the preliminary results of review 
(65 FR 13939).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from 
Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for the 
Final Results of New Shipper Review of Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat 
from the People's Republic of China, dated April 7, 2000, we find this 
review to be extraordinarily complicated and thus are unable to 
complete these reviews within the time limits mandated by section 
351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations, the Department is extending the time period 
for issuing the final results of review until June 23, 2000.

    Dated: April 7, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
