Background

    On June 4, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice extending the deadline for the final results of the

warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''), 
covering the period February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. See

Shrimp from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic 
of Vietnam: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of 
the Third Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 26839 (June 4, 2009). On July 
22, 2009, the Department published a second notice extending the 
deadline for the final results of the administrative review. See 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China and 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Notice of Extension of Time Limit 
for the Final Results of the Third Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 36164 
(July 22, 2009). The final results are currently due no later than 
August 28, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires that the Department issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published. On June 4 and July 22, 2009, the Department extended the 
deadline of the final results by a total of 52 days. Thus, the 
Department may extend the deadline of the final results by an 
additional eight days.
    The Department requires additional time to properly consider the 
numerous and complex issues raised by interested parties in their case 
briefs and rebuttal briefs regarding surrogate values for factors of 
production, numerous company-specific issues, and the separate-rate 
status for numerous non-mandatory companies.
    Thus, it is not practicable to complete these reviews by August 28, 
2009. Therefore, the Department is again extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results of these reviews by eight days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results are 
now due no later than September 5, 2009.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Because September 5, 2009, falls on a Saturday and the 
following business day, Monday, September 7, 2009, is a Federal 
holiday, the deadline of the final results falls on Tuesday, 
September 8, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 25, 2009.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
