Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 23, 2002.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of the administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange juice from 
Brazil. The period of review is May 1, 2000, through April 30, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irina Itkin or Elizabeth Eastwood at 
(202) 482-0656 or (202) 482-3874, respectively, Office of AD/CVD 
Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), are references 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 of Commerce's (the 
Department's) regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2001).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 19, 2001, the Department published a 
notice of initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil. The period of 
review is May 1, 2000, through April 30, 2001. The review covers two 
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department shall 
make a preliminary determination in an administrative review of an 
antidumping order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary 
month of the date of publication of the order. The Act further 
provides, however, that the Department may extend the 245-day period to 
365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the foregoing time period. This review involves a number of 
complicated cost issues. As a result, we need additional time for our 
analysis. Because it is not practicable to complete this administrative 
review within the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results. Consequently, we have extended the deadline until 
May 31, 2002.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)(2000)) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: January 16, 2002.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
