Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of the Tenth Antidumping Duty 
New Shipper Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: September 27, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Hancock, 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) 482-1394.

Background

    On July 19, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of this new shipper review. See Certain 
Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary 
Results of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 72 FR 45734 (August 
15, 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).
    On August 30, 2007, the Department sent a supplemental 
questionnaire to the respondent in this review, Guangxi Jisheng Foods, 
Inc. (``Jisheng''), regarding information Jisheng and its importer had 
placed on the record about their respective legal structure. 
Additionally, as stated in the Preliminary Results, the Department 
intends to verify, as provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, sales 
and cost information submitted by the respondent, Jisheng. See 
Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 45735. As a result of the extraordinarily 
complicated issues raised in this review segment, including Jisheng's 
and its importer's legal structure, and the additional time needed to 
evaluate Jisheng's response to our questions, and analyze the 
information that will be gathered at Jisheng's sales and cost 
verification, 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 until 
December 16, 2007, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). However, because December 16, 2007, falls 
on a Sunday, the final results will be due on December 17, 2007, the 
next business day.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 17, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
