FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Javier Barrientos, AD/CVD Operations,

Background

    On June 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of this new shipper review. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 71 FR 
38368 (July 6, 2006) (``Preliminary Results'').

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).
    In order to allow parties additional time to submit comments 
regarding the Department's Preliminary Results, the Department extended 
the deadline for the submission of case and rebuttal briefs by 48 days. 
As a result of the extensions and the extraordinarily complicated 
issues raised in this review segment, including surrogate valuation and 
bona fides issues, it is not practicable to complete this new shipper 
review within the current time limit. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limit for the completion of the final results by 60 
days untilNovember 24, 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: September 13, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
