Postponement of Preliminary Determination:

    On June 28, 2001, the Department initiated the countervailing duty 
investigation of individually quick frozen red raspberries from Chile. 
See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation: 
Individually Quick Frozen Red Raspberries From Chile, 66 FR 34423 (June 
28, 2001). The preliminary determination currently must be issued by 
August 24, 2001.
    On August 3, 2001, the petitioners submitted a written request 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a postponement of the preliminary 
determination in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The petitioners requested a 45 day 
postponement (i.e., until October 8, 2001) in order to allow time for 
the petitioners to submit comments on the respondents' questionnaire 
response and to allow time for the Department to issue supplemental 
questionnaires.
    The Department finds no compelling reason to deny the request. 
Therefore, we are postponing the preliminary determination until no 
later than October 8, 2001.
    This notice of postponement is published pursuant to section 
703(c)(2) of the Act.

    Dated: August 9, 2001.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
