    On September 30, 1998, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from Yancheng Baolong Biochemical Products Co., Ltd. 
for a new shipper review of the antidumping order on freshwater

period of March 26, 1997 through August 31, 1998 (63 FR 59762, 
published November 5, 1999).

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 Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review of 
Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the PRC, dated July 7, 1999, it is 
not practicable to complete these reviews within the time limits 
mandated by sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limits for the 
preliminary results to August 26, 1999. This extension of time limits 
is in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.

    Dated: July 8, 1999.
