SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 21, 2010, the Department published its notice of 
preliminary intent to rescind the new shipper review in the antidumping 
duty order on shrimp from Vietnam for Nhat Duc Co., Ltd. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Preliminary Intent To Rescind New Shipper Review, 75 FR 3446 (January 
21, 2010) (``Preliminary Rescission''). The final results of this 
review are currently due no later than April 19, 2010.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Due to the extended closure of the Government between 
February 5 and 11, 2010, all deadlines for active cases were tolled 
by one calendar week. See Memorandum From Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for 
Import Administration, Regarding Tolling of Administrative Deadlines 
As a Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm, 
available at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/download/administrative-deadline-tolling-memo-021210.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty new shipper reviews, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(1) requires the Department to issue the final results of a 
new shipper review within 90 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are issued. However, the Department may extend the 
deadline for completion of the final results of a new shipper review to 
150 days after the date on which the preliminary results are issued if 
it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2)

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated as the Department's Preliminary Rescission included 
analysis of six detailed issues related to the respondent's POR sale. 
Both respondent and petitioner have provided extensive comments on all 
these issues, which must be analyzed along with the Department's 
preliminary determination. Based on the timing of the case and the 
extensive arguments and detailed issues that must be analyzed, the 
final results of this new shipper review cannot be completed within the 
statutory time limit of 90 days.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of this new shipper review by 30 days 
from the April 19, 2010 deadline. The final results will now be due no 
later than May 19, 2010.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 12, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
