Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Reviews

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

DATES: Effective Date: November 30, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Arrowsmith (Yantai Jinyan 
Trading, Inc.), Milton Koch (Jining Yifa Garlic Produce Co., Ltd.), 
Justin Neuman (Shenzhen Bainong Co., Ltd.), AD/CVD Operations, Office 
6, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce, Room 7866, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue,

Background

    On July 7, 2010, the Department published the initiation of the new 
shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from the 
People's Republic of China for three exporters: Shenzhen Bainong Co., 
Ltd. (Bainong), Jining Yifa Garlic Produce Co., Ltd, (Yifa) and Yantai 
Jinyan Trading, Inc. (Jinyan). The period of review (POR) for Bainong 
and Yifa is November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. The POR for Jinyan 
is November 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010. See Fresh Garlic From the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of New Shipper Reviews, 75 FR 
38986 (July 7, 2010).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the 
date on which the review was initiated, and the final results of the 
review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
were issued. However, if the Department concludes that a new shipper 
review is extraordinarily complicated, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) allow the Department to extend the 180-day 
period to 300 days, and to extend the 90-day period to 150 days. The 
current deadline for the preliminary results is December 27, 2010. The 
Department has determined that these new shipper reviews involve 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues, which require the 
examination of importer and customer information for Bainong, Jinyan, 
and Yifa. Additional time is also required to ensure that the 
Department can fully examine whether the sales under review are bona 
fide for each of the three companies under review.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the deadline for completion

of the preliminary results of these new shipper reviews to 300 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2). Accordingly, the deadline for the completion of these 
preliminary results is now no later than April 26, 2011.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 22, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
