SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department received timely requests from Shanghai Sunbeauty 
Trading Co., Ltd., (``Shanghai Sunbeauty''), Jiangsu Jiushoutang 
Organisms-Manufactures Co., Ltd., (``Jiangsu JOM''), and Qingdao Wentai 
Trading Co., Ltd., (``Qingdao Wentai'') in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(c) for new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the PRC. On April 29, 2005, the 
Department found that the requests for review with respect to Shanghai 
Sunbeauty, Jiangsu JOM, and Qingdao Wentai met all of the regulatory 
requirements set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(b) and initiated these new 
shipper antidumping duty reviews covering the period September 1, 2004, 
through February 28, 2005. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Reviews, 70 FR 23987 (May 6, 2005). On March 2, 2006, the Department 
published the preliminary results of these new shipper antidumping duty 
reviews. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Notice of Intent to Rescind, 71 FR 10644 (March 
2, 2006).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (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

[[Page 29123]]

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 final results of a new shipper 
review to 150 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated (19 CFR 351.214 (i)(2)).
    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated as the Department must consider numerous arguments 
presented in the case briefs of the three respondents and petitioner's 
rebuttal brief including arguments regarding the respondents' sales 
prices, quantities, and issues relating to two respondents' U.S. 
affiliates. Based on the timing of the case, the final results of this 
new shipper review cannot be completed within the statutory time limit 
of 90 days. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for 
the completion of the final results by 30 days from the original May 
24, 2006, deadline, to June 23, 2006, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). This notice is 
published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act.

    Dated: May 15, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
