Background

    On December 27, 2007, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
canned pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand for the period July 1, 2006 
through December 31, 2006. See Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 72 FR 73318 
(December 27, 2007). This review covers the respondent, C & A Products 
Co., Ltd. (C&A), a producer/exporter of the subject merchandise to the 
United States.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The final results of this new shipper review are currently due on 
March 18, 2008. Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act) requires the Department to issue the final results of 
a new shipper review of an antidumping order within 90 days after the 
date the preliminary results are issued. However, if the review is 
extraordinarily complicated, the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 150 days. This new 
shipper review involves complicated material costs that differ between 
the U.S. and the comparison market. The Department must therefore 
perform additional analysis specifically with regard to the information 
collected at verification which was conducted subsequent to the 
issuance of the preliminary results. Thus, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the Department is 
extending the time period for issuing the final results of review by an 
additional 60 days. Since the 60-day extension would result in the 
deadline for the final results falling on May 17, 2008, which is a 
Saturday, the new deadline for the final results will be the next 
business day, May 19, 2008. 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 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: March 3, 2008.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
