    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        The Department received requests to conduct an administrative 
    review of the antidumping order on fresh garlic from the PRC. On August 
    16, 1995, the Department published a notice of initiation of this 
    administrative review covering the period July 11, 1994, through 
    October 31, 1995. The Department adjusted the time limits by 28 days 
    due to the government shutdowns, which lasted from November 14, 1995, 
    to November 20, 1995, and from December 15, 1995, to January 6, 1996. 
    See Memorandum to the file from Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary 
    for Import Administration, January 11, 1996. As adjusted, the current 
    time limits are August 23, 1996, for the preliminary results and 
    December 23, 1996, for the final results.
        It is not practicable to complete this review within the time 
    limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, in 
    accordance with that section, the Department is extending the time 
    limits for the preliminary results to December 23, 1996. See memorandum 
    to Susan Kuhbach entitled ``Extension of time limit for 1994-95 
    antidumping duty administrative review of fresh garlic from the 
    People's Republic of China.'' The final results will be due 120 days 
    from the publication of the preliminary results.
        Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
    administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b).
        These extensions are in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
    Act.
    
        Dated: August 12, 1996.
    Susan Kuhbach,
    Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
