ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the current review of the antidumping duty order 
on individual quick frozen red raspberries from Chile. The period of 
review is December 31, 2001, through June 30, 2003. This extension is 
made pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blanche Ziv or Cole Kyle, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-4207 or (202) 482-1503, respectively.

Background

    On August 22, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on individual quick frozen red raspberries from 
Chile, covering the period December 31, 2001, through June 30, 2003. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, (68 FR 50750). The preliminary results for this review are 
currently due no later than April 1, 2004.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review 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 results are published. If it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    We are currently analyzing sales information provided by the three

respondents and cost information from one of the respondents in this 
review. In addition, we are awaiting cost responses from two of the 
respondents. Because the Department requires time to review and analyze 
these responses once they are received and to issue supplemental 
questionnaires if necessary, it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., April 1, 
2004). Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results to not later than July 30, 2004, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 4, 2004.
Jeffrey May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement.
