Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Third 
Administrative Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: May 29, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Johnson at (202) 482-4929, or 
David Goldberger at (202) 482-4136, AD/CVD Operations, Office 2, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230.

Background

    On March 9, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice for the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp 
from Thailand covering the period February 1, 2007, through January 31, 
2008. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 10000 (March 
9, 2009). The final results for this administrative review are 
currently due no later than July 7, 2009, 120 days from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results of review.

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    The Department requires additional time to complete this review 
because we conducted the sales verification after the preliminary 
results and, therefore, case and rebuttal briefs will not be received 
until May 29, 2009, and June 9, 2009, respectively. Thus, it is not 
practicable to complete this review within the original time limit. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the final results of this review by 60 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results are now due no later than 
September 8, 2009.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 22, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
