SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) received timely 
requests from Dafeng Shunli Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Shunli) and 
Shanghai Blessing Trade Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Blessing) in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.214(c), for new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty 
order on crawfish tail meat from the PRC. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail 
Meat From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping 
Duty New Shipper Reviews, 69 FR 64028 (November 3, 2004). On October 
28, 2004, the Department found that the requests for review with 
respect to Shunli and Shanghai Blessing met all the regulatory 
requirements set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(b) and initiated these new 
shipper antidumping duty reviews covering the period September 1, 2003, 
through August 31, 2004. Id. On March 23, 2005, the Department extended 
the time limit for the deadline for issuance of the preliminary results 
to June 30, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and Sec.  351.214(i)(2) of 
the Department's regulations. See Notice of Extension of the 
Preliminary Results of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Reviews: Crawfish 
Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China 70 FR 14648.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue 
the preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after 
the date on which the new shipper review was initiated and final 
results of a review 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 has deemed it 
necessary to provide additional time for parties to comment on the 
Department's bona fide sales analyses prior to the preliminary results. 
Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for the 
completion of the preliminary results until no later than August 23, 
2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2). The deadline for the final results of this 
administrative review continues to be 90 days after the publication of 
the preliminary results, unless extended.

    Dated: June 23, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
