Fresh Garlic from the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Time Limits for Final Results of New Shipper Reviews

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 9, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Javier Barrientos or Irene Gorelik, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 23, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of these new shipper reviews. See Fresh 
Garlic from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of New 
Shipper Reviews, 72 FR 21219 (April 30, 2007) (``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. As a 
result of the extensions and the extraordinarily complicated issues 
raised in these reviews, including surrogate 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 these final results to September 
20, 2007 (150 days after issuance of the Preliminary Results), 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)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 28, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
