SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:



Background



    On January 31, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 

published in the Federal Register the initiation a new shipper review 

of the antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina, covering the 

period of December 1, 2009, through November 30, 2010, and a single 

exporter of Argentine honey, Villamora S.A. (Villamora). See Honey from 

Argentina: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 

76 FR 5332 (January 31, 2011). The current deadline for the preliminary 

results of this review is July 24, 2011.



Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of Review



    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 complete the 

preliminary results of a new shipper review of an antidumping duty 

order within 180 days after the date on which the review is initiated. 

However, the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the 

preliminary results to 300 days if it determines 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 that this new shipper review is 

extraordinarily complicated and, therefore, it requires additional time 

to complete the preliminary results. Specifically, the Department 

requires additional time to analyze certain data and information 

regarding the Argentine honey market and the nature of Villamora's 

relationship with affiliated parties. Accordingly, the Department is

extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of 

this new shipper review and therefore, will complete these preliminary 

results no later than August 23, 2011. We intend to issue the final 

results no later than 90 days after publication of the preliminary 

results.

    This extension is issued and published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).



    Dated: July 18, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
