SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 7, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of these new 
shipper reviews. Honey from the People's Republic of China: Intent to 
Rescind and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Reviews, 71 FR 32923 (June 7, 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 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. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, 
and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    At the request of interested parties, the Department extended the 
deadline for the submission of surrogate value information and case and 
rebuttal briefs by three weeks. As a result of the extensions and the 
extraordinarily complicated issues raised in this review segment, 
including the honey valuation and bona fides issues, it is not 
practicable to complete these new shipper reviews within the current 
time limit. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for 
the completion of the final results by 30 days until September 27, 
2006, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
