SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2007, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China 
(PRC). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 61621 (October 31, 2007). On June 6, 
2008, we extended the time period for issuing the preliminary results 
of the review by 60 days until July 31, 2008. See Freshwater Crawfish 
Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension of 
Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 73 FR 32289 (June 6, 2008). The period of review 
is September 1, 2006, through August 31, 2007. The preliminary results 
of the administrative review are currently due no later than July 31, 
2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these 
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of the review within the current time limit because we require 
additional time to analyze additional factors-of-production data 
submitted by a respondent's affiliated producers in response to our 
decision to collapse them. Therefore, we are extending the time period 
for issuing the preliminary results of the review by 60 days until 
September 29, 2008. The deadline for the final results of the review 
continues to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This extension notice is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: July 22, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
