SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 29, 2006, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of a review of certain frozen fish fillets from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''), covering the period August 
1, 2005, through July 31, 2006.\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 
2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In accordance with the Circumvention Inquiry, the period of 
review for Lian Heng Investment Co., Ltd. and Lian Heng Trading Co., 
Ltd. Is October 22, 2004 through July 31, 2006. See Circumvention 
and Scope Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Frozen 
Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Partial 
Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping 
Duty Order, Partial Final Termination of Circumvention Inquiry and 
Final Rescission of Scope Inquiry, 71 FR 38608 (July 7, 2006) 
(``Circumvention Inquiry'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    The Department determines that completion of the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the statutory time period is not 
practicable because the case is extraordinarily complicated. See 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. The Third administrative review 
covers four companies, and to conduct the sales and factor analyses for 
each requires the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount 
of information pertaining to each company's sales practices and 
manufacturing methods. In addition, two companies involve complicated 
affiliation and collapsing issues. The Department requires additional 
time to analyze these issues.
    Therefore, given the number and complexity of issues in this case, 
and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review 
by 30 days until August 31, 2007. The final results continue to be due 
120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C)(3)(A) of 
the Act and section 351.214(h)(I)(1) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: July 26, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
