SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 25, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain orange juice fromBrazil. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 22337 (April 25, 
2008). The period of review is March 1, 2007, through February 29, 
2008, and the preliminary results are currently due no later than 
December 1, 2008. The review covers two producers/exporters of the 
subject merchandise to the United States.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review of an antidumping order within 245 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the 
order. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to 
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because of certain technical issues 
contained in supplemental questionnaire responses. Analysis of these 
issues requires additional time. Therefore, we have fully extended the 
deadline for completing the preliminary results until March 31, 2009. 
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 published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 3, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
