 Import Administration; Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From Vietnam: 
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Changed Circumstances 
Review

DATES: Effective Date: October 10, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Javier Barrientos, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2243.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 10, 2007, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) issued its preliminary results for the 
changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order of certain 
frozen fish fillets from Vietnam. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From 
Vietnam: Notice of Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review, 72 FR 46604 (August 21, 2007) (Preliminary 
Results). On May 6, 2008, the Department published a notice extending 
the time limits for the changed circumstances review of the antidumping 
duty order of certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam. See Certain 
Frozen Fish Fillets From Vietnam: Extension of Time Limit for Final 
Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 73 FR 28100 (May 15, 2008) 
(``First Extension''). On July 10, 2008, the Department published a 
second notice extending the time limits for the changed circumstances 
review of the antidumping duty order of certain frozen fish fillets 
from Vietnam. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From Vietnam: Extension 
of Time Limit for Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 73 FR 
39669 (July 10, 2008) (``Second Extension''). The current deadline for 
the final results of this review is October 6, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    In our Preliminary Results, we indicated we would issue the final 
results in the instant review within 270 days after the date on which 
the changed circumstances review is initiated. The Department finds 
that it is not practicable to complete this review by the current 
deadline. Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, and receipt of Vinh 
Hoan Co., Ltd./Corp.'s and Petitioners' (the Catfish Farmers of America 
and individual U.S. catfish processors) case briefs, the Department 
requested and received new information from Vinh Hoan. Moreover, Vinh 
Hoan requested an extension to the time limit for submission of this 
new information. In addition, the Department will be providing 
interested parties an opportunity to comment on this new information. 
Consequently, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.302(b), the Department is 
extending the time period for issuing the final results in the instant 
review by 60 days. Therefore, the final results will be due no later 
than December 5, 2008.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 771(i) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

     Dated: October 2, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
