SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 7, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the fifth administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the 
People's Republic of China. See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission 
of Fifth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 10965 (March 7, 
2005) (``Preliminary Results''). The results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than July 5, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a final determination 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If 
it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time, 
the administering authority may extend that 120-day period to 180 days. 
In this case, the Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the final results in the administrative review of certain 
preserved mushrooms from the PRC within the current time frame due to 
the need to analyze information found during verifications in March and 
April 2005.
    Therefore, in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time for completion of the final results of 
this review until September 6, 2005, which is the next business day 
after 180 days from the date of the publication of the Preliminary 
Results. Additionally, the deadlines for submitting case briefs and 
rebuttal briefs are extended. The current deadline for case briefs is 
May 2, 2005, and the current deadline for rebuttal briefs is May 9, 
2005. The Department is extending the deadline for case briefs until 
June 24, 2005, and for rebuttal briefs until July 1, 2005. A hearing 
will be scheduled after case briefs and rebuttal briefs have been 
received.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with Section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: April 25, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
