Fresh Atlantic Salmon From Chile: Notice of Extension of Time 
Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 3, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Constance Handley or Salim 
Bhabhrawala, Office 5, Group II, AD/CVD Enforcement, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230; telephone: (202) 482-0631 and (202) 482-1784, respectively.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination 
to a maximum of 365 days and for the final determination to 180 days 
from the date of publication of the preliminary determination (or 300 
days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the 
preliminary determination).

Background

    On August 20, 2001, we published in the Federal Register the notice 
of initiation of the third administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on fresh Atlantic salmon from Chile, covering the period 
July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2001. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 66 FR 43570 (August 20, 2001). On January 22, 2002, the 
Department published in the Federal Register the notice of an extension 
of the preliminary results of the third administrative review. See 
Fresh Atlantic Salmon From Chile: Extension of Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 67 FR 2856 (January 22, 2002). 
On August 7, 2002, the Department

published the preliminary results of the third administrative review. 
See Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, Preliminary Determination to Revoke the Order in Part, and 
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Fresh 
Atlantic Salmon From Chile, 67 FR 51182 (August 7, 2002) (Preliminary 
Results). In our notice of preliminary results, we stated our intention 
to issue the final results of this review no later than December 5, 
2002.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results until no later than February 3, 2003. See Decision Memorandum 
from Constance Handley to Gary Taverman, dated concurrently with this 
notice, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the 
main Commerce building.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: November 27, 2002.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II, Import Administration.
