Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of the Third 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 23, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Bertrand, 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) 482-3207.

Background

    On August 31, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of this administrative review. See 
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Notice of Preliminary Results of the Third Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 53527 (September 19, 2007) (``Preliminary 
Results''). The final results are currently due on January 17, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.211(b)(5) require the Department to issue the 
final results in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 
The Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
final results of an administrative review to 180 days if it determines 
it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time 
period. See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results in the administrative review of certain frozen fish 
fillets from Vietnam within this time limit. Specifically, the 
Department needs additional time to consider Respondent East Sea Foods 
Joint Venture Co., Ltd.'s responses. Additionally, the Department is 
extending the deadline for the final results to accommodate parties' 
public hearing requests so parties may address all issues. For the 
reasons noted above, we are extending the time for the completion of 
the final results of this review by 60 days to March 17, 2008.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: January 15, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
