SUMMARY: The United States Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
is extending the time limit for the final results of the new shipper 
review and administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain preserved mushrooms from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). These reviews cover the period August 5, 1998, through 
January 31, 2000, and are being conducted concurrently.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 6, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger or Kate Johnson, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4136 or (202) 482-4929, 
respectively.

Postponement of Final Results of Administrative Review

    On March 21, 2000 and March 30, 2000, respectively, the Department 
initiated a new shipper review (65 FR 17257) and an administrative 
review (65 FR 16875) of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved 
mushrooms from the PRC. Pursuant to section 351.214(j)(3) of its 
regulations, and with the agreement of Raoping Xingyu Foods Co., Ltd. 
(``Raoping''), the company which requested the new shipper review, the 
Department is conducting the 1998-2000 administrative review and the 
new shipper review of Raoping concurrently. The current deadline for 
the final results in these reviews is March 7, 2001.
    In accordance with section 751 (a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(``the Act''), as amended, we determine that it is not practicable to 
complete these reviews within the original time frame because of the 
additional time required to conduct verification and to analyze issues 
raised in the administrative review. Thus, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the final results until May 31, 2001, 
in accordance with Sec. 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: January 30, 2001.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
