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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Hancock, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of these new shipper reviews. See 
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Partial Rescission and Preliminary Results of the First New Shipper 
Review, 73 FR 6125 (February 1, 2008) (``Preliminary Results''). The 
final results are currently due on April 21, 2008.

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).
    The Department is extending the deadline for the completion of the 
final results of these new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty 
order on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam because the case is 
extraordinarily complicated. Specifically, these new shipper reviews 
involve complicated affiliation and data issue issues, which require 
further analysis. Such analysis is necessary in order for the 
Department to obtain accurate sales and factors of production.

[[Page 15479]]

Additionally, the Department is extending the deadline for the final 
results to accommodate parties' request to extend the deadline for the 
submission of publicly available information to value factors of 
production, case briefs, and rebuttal briefs. For the reasons noted 
above, we are extending the time for the completion of the final 
results of these new shipper reviews by 30 days to May 21, 2008.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 4, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
