Certain Individually Quick Frozen Red Raspberries from Chile: 
Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 2005-2006 Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yasmin Nair or Nancy Decker, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-3813 
or (202) 482-0196, respectively.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``Department'') to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.

Background

    On August 30, 2006, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on individually quick frozen red raspberries 
from Chile, covering the period July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 
2006). The preliminary results for this administrative review are 
currently due no later than April 2, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review, analyze, and 
verify the sales and cost information submitted by the parties in this 
administrative review. Moreover, the Department requires additional 
time to issue supplemental questionnaires and fully analyze the 
responses. Thus, it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the original time limit (i.e., April 2, 2007). Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results to not later than July 31, 2007, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 05, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
