Postponement of Preliminary Results

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is postponing the 
preliminary results in the antidumping administrative review of the 
Suspension Agreement on Honey from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). The deadline for issuing the preliminary results in these 
administrative reviews is now August 30, 2000.
    On August 30, 1999, the Department initiated this administrative 
review, setting May 2, 2000 as the date for issuing the preliminary 
results of the review. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, August 
30, 1999 (64 FR 53318). Because it is only the second time a review of 
a suspension agreement involving export limits and reference prices has 
been initiated by the Department, raising novel legal and enforcement 
issues, we have determined that it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the normal time frame and are therefore extending the 
time limit for these preliminary results of the administrative review 
of the Suspension Agreement on Honey from the PRC by 120 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.
    The date for issuing the preliminary results is moved from May 2, 
2000 to August 30, 2000.

    Dated: April 28, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
