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.
