SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the notice of initiation of a new 
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on canned pineapple fruit 
from Thailand for C&A Products Co., Ltd. (C&A). See Canned Pineapple 
Fruit from Thailand: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 
72 FR 9305 (March 1, 2007). The period of review is July 1, 2006 
through December 31, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations normally 
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 within 90 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results were issued. The Department may, however, 
extend the time period for completion of the preliminary results of a 
new shipper review to 300 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).
    The Department has determined that this review is extraordinarily 
complicated, as the Department requires additional time to evaluate 
petitioner's (Maui Pineapple Company Ltd.) cost allegation and to 
review responses. Based on the further analysis required, the 
preliminary results of this new shipper review cannot be completed 
within the statutory time limit of 180 days. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the 
preliminary results of the new shipper review of C&A to 300 days. See 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The 
preliminary results will now be due no later than December 19, 2007. 
The final results will be due 90 days after the date of issuance of the 
preliminary results, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 9, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
