Shipper Review

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


DATES: Effective Date: April 20, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Ray, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, 
and Emeka Chukwudebe, 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) 482-5403 and (202) 482-0219, respectively.

Background

    On January 28, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the third new shipper review for 
the period August 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. See Certain Frozen 
Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Notice of 
Preliminary Results of the Third New Shipper Review, 74 FR 4920 
(January 28, 2009) (``Preliminary Results''). The final results are 
currently due on April 16, 2009.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
final results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order 90 
days after the date on which the preliminary results are issued. The 
Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
final results of a new shipper review to 150 days if it determines that 
the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department finds this case is extraordinarily complicated 
because a study recently placed on the record presents a number of 
complex factual and legal questions with regard to the surrogate value 
of whole fish. Therefore, the Department and interested parties need 
more time to analyze the study. Accordingly, because the Department 
requires additional time to complete the final results, we are 
extending the time for the completion of the final results of this 
review by 60 days to June 15, 2009.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

    Dated: April 15, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
