ACTION: Notice of extension of time limits for preliminary results of new shipper review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EFFECTIVE DATE: January 6, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Strollo, Laurel LaCivita or Maureen Flannery, AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3782, (202) 482-4236 or (202) 482-3020, respectively. The Applicable Statute Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Departments's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351, (April, 1998). Background On March 27, 1998, the Department of Commerce (the Department) received a request from Ningbo Nanlian Frozen Foods Company, Ltd. (Ningbo Nanlian) for a new shipper antidumping administrative review of freshwater crawfish tail meat. On May 8, 1998, the Department published its initiation of this new shipper review covering the period of September 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998 (63 FR 25449). Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the New Shipper Review of Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China, dated December 21, 1998, it is not practical to complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 35 days to February 15, 1999. The final results continue to be due 90 days after the publication of the preliminary results. Dated: December 30, 1998. Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
