Fresh Garlic From the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Time Limit for the Final Results of New Shipper Reviews

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


DATES: Effective Date: July 28, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Arrowsmith, Milton Koch, 
and Justin Neuman, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-5255, (202) 482-2584, and (202) 482-0486, respectively.

Background

    On May 3, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) issued 
the preliminary intent to rescind the new shipper reviews of fresh 
garlic from the People's Republic of China for Jining Yifa Garlic 
Produce Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Bainong Co., Ltd. for the period of 
review (POR) November 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010, and Yantai 
Jinyan Trading Inc. for the POR November 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.
    See Fresh Garlic From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary 
Intent To Rescind New Shipper Reviews, 76 FR 24857 (May 3, 2011) 
(Preliminary Intent to Rescind).

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), provide that the Department will issue 
the preliminary results of a new shipper review of an antidumping duty 
order within 180 days after the day on which the review was initiated, 
and the final results of 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, the 
Department may extend the 180-day period to 300 days, and may extend 
the 90-day period to 150 days. See 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Department determines that these new shipper reviews involve 
extraordinarily complicated issues. In particular, since the 
Preliminary Intent to Rescind, the Department has solicited and 
received additional information regarding the bona fides of the new 
shippers' sales. The Department needs additional time to analyze this 
new information and to consider the parties' arguments with regard to 
the bona fides of the sales under review. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the 
Department is extending the time limit for the final results from 90 
days to 111 days. Thus, the final results will now be due no later than 
August 15, 2011.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(I) of the Act.

    Dated: July 22, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
