SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2008, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on honey from 

Argentina for the period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) of December 1, 2007, through 

November 30, 2008. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review, 73 FR 72764 (December 1, 

2008). 

In response, on December 30, 2008, 

the Asociacion de Cooperativas 

Argentinas (‘‘ACA’’) requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on honey from 

Argentina for the period December 1, 

2007, through November 30, 2008. On 

December 31, 2008, the American 

Honey Producers Association and Sioux 

Honey Association (collectively, 

‘‘petitioners’’) requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on honey from 

Argentina for the period December 1, 

2007, through November 30, 2008. 

Specifically, petitioners requested that 

the Department conduct an 

administrative review of entries of 

subject merchandise made by 17 

Argentine producers/exporters.1 Also on 

December 31, 2008, Nexco S.A. 

(‘‘Nexco’’) requested an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on honey from Argentina for the period 

December 1, 2007, through November 

30, 2008. ACA and Nexco were 

included in the petitioners’ request for 

review. 

On February 2, 2009, the Department 

published the notice initiating this 

administrative review for the 17 

companies for which an administrative 

review was requested. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Request for 

Revocation In Part, 74 FR 5821 

(February 2, 2009) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). 

The Department received a request for 

administrative review from Patagonik 

S.A. (‘‘Patagonik’’) in response to the 

December 1, 2008, opportunity to 

request an administrative review. 

However, its request was dated January 

2, 2009, after the December 31, 2008, 

deadline. On January 23, 2009, the 

Department returned the letter 

requesting an administrative review to 

Patagonik, stating that the request was 

untimely and that the Department 

would not initiate a review based on 

this request. See Letter from the 

Department of Commerce to Patagonik 

S.A., dated January 23, 2009. On 

February 23, 2009, Patagonik submitted 

a letter requesting that the Department 

reconsider its decision not to initiate a 

review based on Patagonik’s request. 

Patagonik provided information to the 

Department indicating the reasons for 

the untimely filing of the request. After 

examining the information, the 

Department again declined to initiate an 

administrative review based on 

Patagonik’s request. See Letter from the 

Department of Commerce to Patagonik 

S.A., dated March 17, 2009. 

On March 6, 2009, petitioners timely 

withdrew their requests for review of 

the following companies: AGLH S.A., 

Algodonera Avellaneda S.A., Alimentos 

Naturales–Natural Foods, Alma Pura, 

Bomare S.A. (Bodegas Miguel 

Armengol), Compania Apicola 

Argentina S.A. and Mielar S.A., 

Compania Inversora Platense S.A., EL 

Mana S.A., HoneyMax S.A., 

Interrupcion S.A., Miel Ceta SRL, 

Patagonik S.A., Productos Afer S.A., 

Seabird Argentina S.A., and Seylinco 

S.A. On April 17, 2009, the Department 

published a partial rescission of this 

administrative review with respect to 

these companies. See Honey from 

Argentina: Notice of Partial Rescission 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 17815 (April 17, 2009). 

On June 10, 2009, both petitioners 

and Nexco withdrew their requests for 

administrative review with respect to 

Nexco. The Department published a 

partial rescission of this administrative 

review with respect to Nexco on July 16, 

2009. See Honey from Argentina: Notice 

of Partial Rescission of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 

34550 (July 16, 2009). 

Currently, the preliminary results of 

this administrative review covering 

ACA are due on September 2, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 

Department may extend the deadline for 

completion of the preliminary results of 

a review by 120 days if it determines 

that it is not practicable to complete the 

preliminary results within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order for which the administrative 

review was requested. Due to the 

complexity of the issues involved, 

including the need to solicit more 

information from ACA, including its 

date of sale methodology and sales to 

third country markets, and to conduct 

verification of ACA’s response in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.222(f)(2)(ii), the Department has 

determined that it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the original 

time period. Accordingly, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for the preliminary results by 107 days 

to not later than December 18, 2009, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act. 

The deadline for the final results of 

this review will continue to be 120 days 

after publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: August 26, 2009. 

John M. Andersen, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
