Certain In-Shell Raw Pistachios From Iran: Extension of Time 
Limit for Preliminary Results of Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limits.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the 2002-2003 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on pistachios from Iran. This 
review covers one exporter of the subject merchandise to the United 
States and the period July 01, 2002 through June 30, 2003.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 5, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Phyllis Hall at (202) 482-1398 or 
Donna Kinsella at (202) 482-0194, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Office Eight, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 22, 2003, in response to requests 
to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders and findings with July anniversary dates, we 
published a notice of initiation of this administrative review in the 
Federal Register. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 
50750. This review involves one exporter, Tehran Negah Nima Trading 
Company.
    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 April 1, 2004 for the preliminary 
results and July 30, 2004 for the final results. It is not practicable 
to complete this review within the normal statutory time limit due to 
the complexity of gathering information for constructed value (CV) and 
CV profit in Iran. Therefore, the Department is extending the time 
limit for completion of the preliminary results until July 30, 2004 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 120 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) (2003)).

    Dated: January 30, 2004.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
