Pursuant to the authority granted in
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18,
1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Regulations (15 CFR part 400), the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board has adopted
the following order:
Whereas, on February 6, 1984, the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board issued a
grant of authority to the Port Authority
of New York & New Jersey (the Port),
authorizing the establishment of
Foreign-Trade Subzone 49A at the Ford
Motor Company plant in Edison, New
Jersey (Board Order 243, 49 FR 5981,
2/16/84);
Whereas, the Port advised the Board
on July 28, 2004 (FTZ Docket 50–2004),
that zone procedures were no longer
needed at the facility and requested
voluntary termination of Subzone 49A;
Whereas, the request has been
reviewed by the FTZ Staff and Customs
officials, and approval has been
recommended;
Now, therefore, the Foreign-Trade
Zones Board terminates the subzone
status of Subzone 49A, effective this

Background
On August 24, 2004, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 69 FR 52857 (August 30, 2004).
The period of review is July 1, 2003,
through June 30, 2004.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
extend that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period. The preliminary
results of this antidumping duty
administrative review of canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand are
currently scheduled to be completed on
April 2, 2005. However, the Department
finds that it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results in this
administrative review within this time
limit because additional time is needed
to fully address issues relating to the
home market viability, as well as to
conduct mandatory verifications of the
questionnaire responses and
supplemental questionnaire responses.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results of
this review until August 1, 2005, which
is the next business day after 365 days
from the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The deadline for the final results
of this administrative review continues
to be 120 days after the publication of
the preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.
Dated: February 28, 2005.
