SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination

    On February 7, 2005, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
investigation of imports of certain orange juice from Brazil. See 
Notice of Inititation of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Certain Orange 
Juice from Brazil, 70 FR 7233 (Feb. 11, 2005). The notice of initiation 
stated that we would issue our preliminary determination no later than 
140 days after the date of initiation. See Id. Currently, the 
preliminary determination in this investigation is due on June 27, 
2005.
    On June 2, 2005, the petitioners made a timely request pursuant to 
19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day postponement, pursuant to section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act. The petitioners stated that a postponement of 
this preliminary determination is necessary in order to permit the 
Department and the petitioners to fully analyze the information that 
has been submitted in this investigation and to analyze cost 
information that will be submitted shortly. The petitioners also noted 
that the postponement will permit the Department to seek additional 
information from respondents prior to the preliminary determination.
    Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, if the petitioner makes a 
timely request for an extension of the period within which the 
preliminary determination must be made under subsection (b)(1), then 
the Department may postpone making the preliminary determination under 
subsection (b)(1) until not later than the 190th day after the date on 
which the administering authority initiated the investigation. 
Therefore, for the reasons identified by the petitioners and because 
there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is 
postponing the preliminary determination in this investigation until 
August 16, 2005, which is 190 days from the date on which the 
Department initiated this investigation.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f).

    Dated: June 7, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
