Postponement of Preliminary

Determinations

On June 6, 2001, the Department

published the initiation of the

antidumping duty investigation of

imports of individually quick frozen

(IQF) red raspberries from Chile. The

notice of initiation stated that we would

make our preliminary determination for

this antidumping duty investigation no

later than 140 days after the date of

issuance of the initiation (i.e., November

7, 2001). See Notice of Initiation of

Antidumping Duty Investigations: IQF

Red Raspberries from Chile, 66 FR

34407 (June 28, 2001). At the

petitioners’ 1 request, the Department

postponed the preliminary

determination to December 12, 2001.

See Notice of Postponement of

Preliminary Antidumping Duty

Determination: IQF Red Raspberries

from Chile, 66 FR 53775 (October 24,

2001).

The Department is further postponing

the preliminary determination in this

investigation pursuant to section

351.205(b)(2) of the regulations and

section 733 (c)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the Act.

This further postponement is necessary

to provide additional time for the

Department to consider novel cost

issues involved in this case. Because of

this extraordinary complication, we are

postponing the preliminary

determination until no later than

December 20, 2001.

This notice is published pursuant to

sections 733(c) and 777(i) of the Act.

Dated: December 12, 2001.
