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

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 16, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger at (202) 482-4136, 
or Brian Smith at (202) 482-1766, Office 2, AD/CVD Enforcement Group I, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from India, Indonesia, and 
the People's Republic of China, which cover the period February 1, 
2001, through January 31, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

APPLICABLE STATUTE:

    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 (the Department) 
regulations are to 19 C.F.R. Part 351 (April 2001).
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department shall 
make a preliminary determination in an administrative review of an 
antidumping duty 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 that 245-day 
period to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the foregoing time period. The preliminary results 
are currently scheduled to be completed on October 31, 2002. However, 
the Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in these administrative reviews of certain 
preserved mushrooms from India, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of 
China within this time limit because additional time is needed to 
conduct verifications in all of these administrative reviews.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the preliminary 
results of these reviews until February 28, 2003.

    Dated: August 12, 2002.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
