SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On December 27, 2007, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of fresh garlic from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the period November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 73315 (December 27, 2007). On March 28, 2008, after receiving quantity and value and separate rate responses, the Department selected the mandatory respondents for this review. The preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due on August 1, 2008. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department shall issue preliminary results in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1 45212 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 150 / Monday, August 4, 2008 / Notices 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 is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results by the current deadline of August 1, 2008. The Department has gathered and must analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each company’s corporate structure and ownership, sales practices, and manufacturing methods. Furthermore, this review involves the extraordinarily complicated intermediate input methodology issue. Therefore, the Department requires additional time to analyze the questionnaire responses and to issue supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results by 120 days until no later than December 1, 2008,1 which is 367 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. Unless extended, the final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department’s regulations.

After analyzing these responses, we issued a second supplemental questionnaire to Valle Frio on June 13, 2008. We received a timely filed response on July 07, 2008. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are imports of IQF whole or broken red raspberries from Chile, with or without the addition of sugar or syrup, regardless of variety, grade, size or horticulture method (e.g., organic or not), the size of the container in which packed, or the method of packing. The scope of the order excludes fresh red raspberries and block frozen red raspberries (i.e., puree, straight pack, juice stock, and juice concentrate). The merchandise subject to this order is currently classifiable under subheading 0811.20.2020 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the order is dispositive. Fair Value Comparisons To determine whether sales of IQF red raspberries from Chile to the United States were made at less than normal value (NV), we compared export price (EP) to NV, as described in the ‘‘Export Price’’ and ‘‘Normal Value’’ sections of this notice. We note that we continue to have outstanding sales reconciliation issues with Valle Frio’s responses. For purposes of calculating these E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 27, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of fresh 
garlic from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the 
period November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007. See Initiation of

value and separate rate responses, the Department selected the 
mandatory respondents for this review. The preliminary results of this 
administrative review are currently due on August 1, 2008.

amount of information pertaining to each company's corporate structure 
and ownership, sales practices, and manufacturing methods. Furthermore, 
this review involves the extraordinarily complicated intermediate input 
methodology issue. Therefore, the Department requires additional time 
to analyze the questionnaire responses and to issue supplemental 
questionnaires.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results by 
120 days until no later than December 1, 2008,\1\ which is 367 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication 
of the order. Unless extended, the final results continue to be due 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results, pursuant to 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(1) of the 
Department's regulations.

    \1\ 120 days from August 1, 2008, is November 29, 2008. However, 
Department practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a 
weekend, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See 
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule 
for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Act, 70 
FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
