Background

    On August 12, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register, the antidumping duty order on 
certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
(``Vietnam'').\1\ On March 31, 2011, the Department published a notice 
of initiation of a new shipper review with respect to Thuan An 
Production Trading & Services Co., Ltd. (``TAFISHCO'') covering the 
period August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.\2\ On September 27, 
2011, the Department published a notice of an extension of the time 
period for the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 45

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary results in a new 
shipper review of an antidumping duty order 180 days after the date on 
which the new shipper review was initiated. The Department may however, 
extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a new 
shipper review to 300 days if it determines that the case is 
extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

[[Page 70112]]

    The Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues. Interested parties 
have submitted voluminous surrogate country comments and surrogate 
value data, and thus, the Department requires additional time to 
analyze these data. We are, therefore, further extending the time for 
the completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 
31 days to December 5, 2011. The final results continue to be due 90 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.

    Dated: November 4, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
