SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 28, 2011, the Department initiated a review of the 20
companies for which an administrative review was requested. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 76 FR 5137 (January 28, 2011) (Initiation Notice).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On February 24, 2011, the Department published a subsequent
initiation notice which included corrections to the Initiation
Notice with respect to honey from Argentina. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 10329 (February 24, 2011)
(Second Initiation Notice). In the review request for Nexco S.A.
(Nexco), it also requested revocation from the antidumping duty
order on honey from Argentina (in part). However, Nexco's request
for revocation in part from the order was inadvertently omitted from
the Initiation Notice. Furthermore, certain company names were
misspelled in the same Initiation Notice. All errors were corrected
in the Second Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 7, 2011, the Department extended the time limit for
the preliminary results until December

1, 2011, and rescinded the administrative review with respect to ten

Bomare S.A., (5) HoneyMax, (6) Interrupcion S.A., (7) Miel Ceta SRL,

Notice of Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results and Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 55349
(September 7, 2011). This review covers the following companies:
TransHoney S.A. (TransHoney), Compa[ntilde][iacute]a Inversora Platense
S.A. (CIPSA), AGLH S.A., Algodonera Avellaneda S.A.,.Compania Apicola
Argentina S.A., El Mana S.A., Industrial Haedo S.A., Mielar S.A.,
Patagonik S.A., and Villamora S.A. We selected TransHoney and CIPSA for
individual examination. See Memorandum to Richard O. Weible,
``Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Honey from
Argentina: Respondent Selection Memorandum,'' dated May 9, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results of an
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend
the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a
review is requested.
The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete
this review within the statutory time limit due to the selection of two
new mandatory respondents for this review after the requests for review
for the original respondents were withdrawn. The Department requires
additional time to analyze sufficiently information submitted by the
current respondents in this administrative review. Accordingly, the
Department is further extending the time limit for completion of the
preliminary results of this administrative review by 14 days (i.e., to
December 15, 2011).
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
351.213(d)(4) of the Department's regulations and sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 1, 2011
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
