Background
On January 5, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) announced
the initiation of the new shipper
reviews of Shanghai LJ International
Trading Co., Ltd. (Shanghai LJ),
Zhangqiu Qingyuan Vegetable Co., Ltd.
(Qingyuan) and Huaiyang Huamei
Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (Huamei). See Notice
of Initiation of New Shipper
Antidumping Duty Reviews: Fresh
Garlic from the People’s Republic of
China, 70 FR 779. The new shipper

Department on May 25, 2005. See

Notice of Initiation of New Shipper
Antidumping Duty Reviews: Fresh
Garlic from the People’s Republic of
China, 70 FR 30081.
Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act
provides that the Department will issue
the preliminary results of a new shipper
review of an antidumping duty order
within 180 days after the date on which
the new shipper review was initiated.
The Act also provides that the
Department may extend that 180-day
period to 300 days if it concludes that
the new shipper review is
extraordinarily complicated. See also 19
CFR 351.214(i).
The Department has determined that
these reviews are extraordinarily
complicated and it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results by the
current deadline of June 27, 2005. There
are a number of complex factual,
methodological, and legal issues related
to the calculation of the antidumping
margins for these new shipper reviews
that are currently before the
Department. Therefore, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the
Department is extending the time limit
for the preliminary results until no later
than October 25, 2005. We are issuing
and publishing this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(I).
Dated: June 27, 2005.

tariff rate quota (TRQ) mandated by the
‘‘Wool Suit and Textile Trade Extension
Act of 2004’’ (included in the

with Department of Commerce
regulations (15 CFR 335) (70 FR 25774).
The increases in the 2005 TRQs are:
1 million square meters for Harmonized

million square meters (worsted wool
fabrics with average fiber diameters of
18.5 microns or less).
The Act requires the President to
ensure that such fabrics are fairly
allocated to persons (including firms,
corporations, or other legal entities) who
cut and sew men’s and boys’ worsted
wool suits and suit-like jackets and
trousers in the United States and who
apply for an allocation based on the
amount of such suits cut and sewn
during the prior calendar year.
Presidential Proclamation 7383, of
December 1, 2000, authorized the
Secretary of Commerce to allocate the
quantity of worsted wool fabric imports
under the TRQs.
On December 14, 2004, the
Department published a notice of the
initial allocation for Calendar Year 2005
of TRQs based on applications received
for HTS 9902.51.11 TRQ from 11 firms,
and for HTS 9902.51.15 TRQ from 14
firms (69 FR 74500). All applicants were
determined eligible for an allocation.
Most applicants submitted data on a
business confidential basis. On June 8,
2005, the Department allocated the
increases for the 2005 worsted wool
fabric TRQ mandated by the ‘‘Wool Suit
and Textile Trade Extension Act of
2004’’ based on the same data received
