# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On April 7, 2008, the Department published a notice of initiation of new shipper reviews of certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam covering the period August 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008.                     *See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews, 73 FR 18753*, (April 7, 2008). The preliminary results are currently due no later than September 22, 2008.                

## Statutory Time Limits

                    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the “Act”), provides that the Department will issue the preliminary results of a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order within 180 days after the day on which the review was initiated.                     *See*                     also 19 CFR 351.214 (i)(1). The Act further provides that the Department may extend that 180-day period to 300 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated.                     *See*19 CFR 351.214 (i)(2).                

## Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

                    The Department determines that these new shipper reviews involve extraordinarily complicated methodological issues such as the use of intermediate input methodology, the examination of importer information, and the evaluation of the                     *bona fide*                     nature of each company's sales. Therefore, 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 limit for these preliminary results by 120 days, until no later than January 20, 2009. The final results continue to be due 90 days after the publication of the preliminary results.                

We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

Dated: September 19, 2008.

Stephen J. Claeys,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
