Background
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
On December 27, 2007, the
Department published the preliminary
results of the new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on canned
pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand for
the period July 1, 2006 through
December 31, 2006. See Canned
Pineapple Fruit from Thailand:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty New Shipper Review, 72 FR 73318
(December 27, 2007). This review covers
the respondent, C & A Products Co., Ltd.
(C&A), a producer/exporter of the
subject merchandise to the United
States.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
The final results of this new shipper
review are currently due on March 18,
2008. Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
requires the Department to issue the
final results of a new shipper review of
an antidumping order within 90 days
after the date the preliminary results are
issued. However, if the review is
extraordinarily complicated, the Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the final results to a
maximum of 150 days. This new
shipper review involves complicated
material costs that differ between the
U.S. and the comparison market. The
Department must therefore perform
additional analysis specifically with
regard to the information collected at
verification which was conducted
subsequent to the issuance of the
preliminary results. Thus, in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the
Department is extending the time period
for issuing the final results of review by
an additional 60 days. Since the 60–day
extension would result in the deadline
for the final results falling on May 17,
2008, which is a Saturday, the new
deadline for the final results will be the
next business day, May 19, 2008. See
Notice of Clarification: Application of
‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for
Administrative Determination Deadlines
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As
Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 351.214(i)(2) of the
Department’s regulations.
Dated: March 3, 2008.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
