SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 2, 2008, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of new shipper reviews of fresh garlic from the PRC covering Anqiu 
Haoshun Trade Co., Ltd., Ningjin Ruifeng Foodstuff Co., Ltd., and 
Zhengzhou Yuanli Trading Co., Ltd. for the period November 1, 2006, 
through October 31, 2007. See Fresh Garlic from the People(s Republic 
of China: Initiation of New Shipper Reviews, 73 FR 161 (January 2, 
2008). The preliminary results of these new shipper reviews are 
currently due no later than June 18, 2008.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
``Act''), provides that the Department will issue the preliminary 
results of a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order within 180 
days after the day on which the review was initiated. See also 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(1). The Act further provides that the Department may

[[Page 35370]]

extend that 180-day period to 300 days if it determines that the case 
is extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 351.214 (i)(2).

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    The Department determines that these new shipper reviews involve 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues such as potential 
affiliation issues, the examination of importer information, and the 
evaluation of the bona fide nature of each company's sales. Therefore, 
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 limit for these 
preliminary results by 120 days, until no later than October 16, 2008. 
The final results continue to be due 90 days after the date of the 
issuance of the preliminary results, unless extended.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 13, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
