Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of the Eighth 
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 22, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Winkates at (202) 482-1904, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of Blue Field (Sichuan) Food Industrial Co., Ltd., 
the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period February 
1, 2004, through July 31, 2004. See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from 
the PRC: Initiation of Eighth New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 69 
FR 57264 (September 24, 2004). The preliminary results of this review 
are currently due no later than March 16, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Pursuant to 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), the Department will issue the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the 
date on which the new shipper review was initiated, and issue the final 
results within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
were issued. The Department may, however, extend the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 
days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated (19 
CFR 351.214(I)(2)).
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this new shipper review within the statutory 
time limit of 180 days. Specifically, we find that additional time is 
needed to conduct our bona fide sales analysis based on our findings at 
verification. Given that additional time is needed to conduct our bona 
fide sales analysis, we find that this case is extraordinarily 
complicated.
    Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for the 
completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review until 
July 14, 2005, which is 300 days after the date on which the new 
shipper review was initiated. The final results will, in turn, be due 
90 days after the date of issuance of the preliminary results, unless 
extended.
    This notice is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

    Dated: March 15, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
