SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is postponing the preliminary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to Department of Commerce's (the Department's) 
regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

     On April 17, 2001, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
investigation on greenhouse tomatoes from Canada covering manufacturers 
and exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States during 
the period January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000. See Initiation 
of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Greenhouse Tomatoes From Canada, 66 
FR 20630 (April 24, 2001). The notice stated that, unless postponed, 
the Department would issue its preliminary determination no later than 
140 days after the date of the initiation.

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), 
on August 10, 2001, the petitioners filed a request that the Department 
postpone the preliminary determination for the investigation covering 
greenhouse tomatoes from Canada. The petitioners' request for 
postponement was timely, and the Department finds no compelling reason 
to deny the request.
    Therefore, pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we are 
postponing the preliminary determination in this investigation until 
September 24, 2001. This notice is issued and published pursuant to 
section 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f).

    Dated: August 15, 2001.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Acting Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
