Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On June 6, 2001, the Department published the initiation of the 
antidumping duty investigation of imports of individually quick frozen 
(IQF) red raspberries from Chile. The notice of initiation stated that 
we would make our preliminary determination for this antidumping duty 
investigation no later than 140 days after the date of issuance of the 
initiation (i.e., November 7, 2001). See Notice of Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty Investigations: IQF Red Raspberries from Chile, 66 FR 
34407 (June 28, 2001). At the petitioners' \1\ request, the Department 
postponed the preliminary determination to December 12, 2001. See 
Notice of Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determination: 
IQF Red Raspberries from Chile, 66 FR 53775 (October 24, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioners are the IQF Red Raspberries Fair Trade 
Committee and its members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department is further postponing the preliminary determination 
in this investigation pursuant to section 351.205(b)(2) of the 
regulations and section 733 (c)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the Act. This further 
postponement is necessary to provide additional time for the Department 
to consider novel cost issues involved in this case. Because of this 
extraordinary complication, we are postponing the preliminary 
determination until no later than December 20, 2001.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 733(c) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: December 12, 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
