The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act) are to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

Background

    On March 30, 1999, the Department of Commerce received a request 
from Yancheng Haiteng Aquatic Products & Foods Co., Ltd., to conduct a 
new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish 
tail meat from the People's Republic of China. On April 30, 1999, the 
Department initiated this new shipper antidumping review covering the 
period September 1, 1998, through February 28, 1999 (64 FR 24328, 
published May 6, 1999).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department has determined that the issues are extraordinarily 
complicated and it is not practicable to complete this review within 
the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.214 (i)(2) of the Department's regulations. Therefore, in 
accordance with these sections, the Department is extending the time 
limits for the preliminary results to February 24, 2000. The final 
results continue to be due 90 days after the issuance of the 
preliminary results. This extension of time limits is in accordance 
with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) of 
the Department's regulations.

    Dated: October 25, 1999.
Joseph A Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
