Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 10, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Renkey, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
(``Vietnam'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Review, 
73 FR 37411 (July 1, 2008). Based on an adequate response from the 
domestic interested party and an inadequate response from the 
respondent interested party, the Department is conducting an expedited 
sunset review to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty 
order would lead to the continuation or

recurrence of dumping, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 
section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the Department's regulations. See 
Letters to the International Trade Commission regarding the Sunset 
Reviews of the AD/CVD Orders Initiated in July 2007, dated July 22, 
2008, and August 20, 2008. On October 31, 2008, the Department 
published a notice extending the time limit for the completion of the 
final results of this review by 40 days until December 8, 2008. See 
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Expedited Sunset 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 73 FR 64913 (October 31, 2008).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department 
may extend the 120-day time period for making its determination by not 
more than 90 days, if it determines that a review is extraordinarily 
complicated. As set forth in section 751(c)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, the 
Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily complicated if 
there are a large number of issues, as is the case in this proceeding. 
Therefore, the Department has determined, pursuant to section 
751(c)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, that the first sunset review of frozen fish 
fillets from Vietnam is extraordinarily complicated. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the final 
results by an additional 50 days, from December 8, 2008, to no later 
than January 27, 2009, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the 
Act.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 3, 2008.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
