SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 10, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an antidumping duty order covering honey from the PRC. See 
Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value 
and Antidumping Duty Order; Honey from the People's Republic of China, 
66 FR 63670 (December 10, 2001). On December 22, 2004, the Department 
received a timely request from Kunshan Xin'an Trade Co., Ltd. 
(``Xinan'') in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214 (c), for a new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC, which has a 
December annual anniversary month. On January 31, 2005, the Department 
initiated a review for Xinan. See Honey from the People's Republic of 
China: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 70 FR 6412 
(February 7, 2005) (``NSR Xinan Initiation'')
    On July 14, 2005, the Department extended the time limit for 
issuance of the preliminary results of this review by 45 days. See 
Honey from the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for 
Preliminary Results of 2003/2004 New Shipper Review, 70 FR 42033 (July 
21, 2005). On August 10, 2005, the Department issued a memorandum that 
stated the Department's intent to rescind this new shipper review 
because of the non-bona fide nature of Xinan's sales transaction. See 
Memorandum From James C. Doyle, Director, Office 9, to Barbara E. 
Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration: 
Bona Fide Analysis for Kunshan Xin'an Trade Co., Ltd.'s Sale in the New 
Shipper Review of Honey from the People's Republic of China, dated 
August 10, 2005. We received comments on our intent to rescind this new 
shipper review from Xinan on August 25, 2005. We received rebuttal 
comments from the American Honey Producers and the Sioux Honey 
Association (collectively, ``petitioners'') on August 31, 2005. The 
deadline for completion of the preliminary results is currently 
September 13, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the 
date on which the new shipper review was initiated and final results of 
a review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
were issued. The Department may, however, extend the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 
days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated (19 
CFR 351.214 (i)(2)).
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 
(i)(2), we determine that this review is extraordinarily complicated 
and that it is not practicable to complete this new shipper review 
within the current time limit. Specifically, the Department requires 
additional time to analyze the comments received by parties on the 
Department's bona fides analysis. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limit for the completion of the preliminary results 
by 20 days, to October 3, 2005, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: September 13, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
