SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background:

    On December 23, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated a countervailing duty expedited review of 
Richelain Farms. See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty 
Expedited Review, 68 FR 75490 (December 31, 2003). The preliminary 
results are currently due no later than June 21, 2004.

Time Limits

    Sections 351.214(k)(3) and 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's 
regulations require the Department to issue the preliminary results 
within 180 days after the date on which the expedited review is 
initiated. However, if the proceeding is extraordinarily complicated, 
section 351.214(i)(2) of the regulations allows the Department to 
extend this deadline to a maximum of 300 days.

Extension of Time Limit

    The Department has determined that additional time is necessary to 
issue the preliminary results in this expedited review for the reasons 
stated in the memorandum from Susan Kuhbach to Jeffrey May, dated June 
16, 2004. Therefore, in accordance with sections 351.214(k)(3) and 
351.214(i) of the Department's regulations, we are extending the time 
limit of the preliminary results of this expedited review until no 
later than October 18, 2004.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 18, 2004.
Jeffrey May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group 1.
