SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 25, 2006, the Department initiated new shipper reviews 
of honey from the People's Republic of China in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Honey 
from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of New Shipper 
Antidumping Duty Review, 71 FR 5051 (January 31, 2006). The reviews 
were initiated based on timely requests received from Inner Mongolia 
Altin Bee-Keeping Co., Ltd., Dongtai Peak Honey Industry Co., Ltd., 
Qinhuangdao Municipal Dafeng Industrial Co., Ltd., and Tianjin Eulia 
Honey Co. Ltd, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c). The preliminary 
results are currently due no later than July 24, 2006.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act requires 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. 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. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the current time limit due to complex 
issues in the case and the late verification schedule. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the 
preliminary results until November 21, 2006, which is the first 
business day 300 days from the date on which this new shipper review 
was initiated, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The final results, in turn, will be due 90 
days after the date of issuance of the preliminary results, unless 
extended.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
