SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
issued the preliminary results of the shipper reviews for Vinh Quang 
Fisheries Corporation (``Vinh Quang''), Ngoc Thai Company (``Ngoc 
Thai''), and Anvifish Co., Ltd. (``Anvifish''). 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 Department extended 
the final results 30 days until May 21, 2008. See Certain Frozen Fish 
Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: extension of time Limit 
for Final Results of the New Shipper Reviews, 73 FR 15478 (March 24, 
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. The Department preliminarily rescinded the 
new shipper review with respect to Vinh Quang, however, the Department 
resumed the review of Vinh Quang based on additional analysis and party 
comments. In addition, the Department has received additional surrogate 
value information and case and rebuttal briefs concerning complicated 
issues. The Department needs additional time to properly consider this 
information for the final results. Therefore, the completion of the 
final results of these new shipper reviews is extended by an additional 
30 days to June 20, 2008.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 13, 2008.
