this new shipper antidumping duty administrative review in the Federal 
Register. See Honey from Argentina: Initiation of New Shipper 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 68 FR 6114. Pursuant to the 
time limits for administrative reviews set forth in section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), 
the current deadlines are July 30, 2003 for the preliminary results and 
October 28, 2003 for the final results. It is not practicable to 
complete this review within the normal statutory time limit due to a 
number of significant case issues, such as sales below cost, high 
inflation, currency devaluation, and the bona fides of the transaction 
under review. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results until November 28, 2003 in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act. The deadline 
for the final results of this review will continue to be 90 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)(3)(A) (2001)).

    Dated: July 8, 2003.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
