Background

    On December 13, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the new 
shipper review of certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam covering the period August 1, 2010, through January 
31, 2011.\1\ The final results are currently due no later than March 4, 
2012.

of Vietnam: Preliminary Results of the New Shipper Review, 76 FR

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) require the Department to issue the 
final results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order 90 
days after the date on which the preliminary results are issued. The 
Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
final results of a new shipper review to 150 days if it determines that 
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 this case to be extraordinarily complicated 
because there is voluminous new material on the record regarding the 
surrogate value of whole fish that has not yet been considered in a 
completed review. As a result, the Department will need more time to 
analyze the data. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, we are extending the time for the 
completion of the final results of this new shipper review by 60 days 
to May 3, 2012.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 3, 2012.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
