Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand: Extension of Time Limit for 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 16, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Myrna Lobo or Douglas Kirby, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Department of Commerce, Room 7866, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2371 
or (202) 482-3782, respectively.

Background

    On August 8, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on canned 
pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand for the period July 1, 2005 through 
June 30, 2006. See Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 44490 (August 
8, 2007). This review covers two producers/exporters of the subject 
merchandise to the United States, Vita Food Factory (1989) Ltd. (Vita) 
and Tropical Food Industries Co. Ltd. (Trofco).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review within 120 days of the publication date of the 
preliminary results. However, if it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days. The Department has determined that completion of 
the final results of this review within the original time period is not 
practicable due to the additional analysis that must be performed on 
the information collected at verification conducted since the issuance 
of the preliminary results. Specifically, the Department requires 
additional time to analyze selling agent relationships pertaining to 
respondent. Thus, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 
the Department is extending the time period for issuing the final 
results of review by an additional 60 days, until February 4, 2008.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 7, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
