SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 26, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a preliminary notice of intent to rescind the antidumping 
duty new shipper review of certain frozen warm water shrimp from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') with respect to Maoming Changxing 
Foods Co., Ltd. (``Maoming Changxing''), covering the period February 
1, 2006, through July 31, 2007. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Notice of Intent to 
Rescind Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 72 FR 41058 (July 26, 
2007).

Extension of Time Limit of Final Results

    The final results for this new shipper review are currently due on 
October 17, 2007. Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'') and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the final 
results of this new shipper review by 60 days because the case is 
extraordinarily complicated. This new shipper review involves 
complicated ownership and affiliation issues which will require the 
Department to consider arguments by interested parties regarding the 
actual owners and the source of founding capital with respect to 
Maoming Changxing. In addition, the Department requires additional time 
to consider domestic producers' arguments regarding the antidumping 
duty rate to apply to Maoming Changxing.
    Because of the complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance 
with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), we 
are extending the time period for issuing the final results of the new 
shipper review of Maoming Changxing by 60 days. Since a 60-day 
extension would result in the deadline for the final results falling on 
December 16, 2007, which is Sunday, the new deadline for the final 
results will be the next business day, December 17, 2007. See Notice of 
Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: October 4, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
