The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act) are to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351

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 
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). On May 1, 2000, the Department extended the time limit for the 
final results of this new shipper review to June 23, 2000 (65 FR 
25309). On June 28, 2000, the Department extended the time limit for 
the final results of this new shipper review to July 14, 2000 ( 65 FR 
39868).

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 July 13, 2000, we find this 
case is extraordinarily complicated and thus are unable to complete 
this review by the scheduled deadline. 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 July 24, 2000.

    Dated: July 14, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
