## The Applicable Statute 

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) are to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

## Background 

On March 30, 1999,the Department received a request from Yancheng Haiteng Aquatic Products & Foods Co., Ltd. to conduct a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China. On May 6, 1999, the Department published its initiation of this new shipper review covering the period of September 1, 1998 through February 28, 1999 (64 FR 24328). On March 15, 2000, the Department published the preliminary results of review (65 FR 13939). 

## Extension of Time Limits for Final Results 

                        Because of the complexities enumerated in the                         *Memorandum from Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of New Shipper Review of Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China,*                         dated April 7, 2000, we find this review to be extraordinarily complicated and thus are unable to complete these reviews within the time limits mandated by section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.                     

Therefore, in accordance with section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results of review until June 23, 2000. 

Dated: April 7, 2000.
