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
The Department of Commerce (the Department) received requests to conduct an administrative review and new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China. On October 29, 1998, the Department initiated the antidumping administrative review covering the period March 26, 1997 through August 31, 1998 (see Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests for Revocation in Part and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 63 FR 58009). On November 5, 1998, the Department initiated new-shipper reviews covering the period March 26, 1997 through August 31, 1998 (see Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of New-Shipper Antidumping Administrative Reviews, 63 FR 59762).
On September 30, 1999, the Department issued preliminary results of review for both the administrative review and the new-shipper reviews (see Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews, Partial Rescission of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, and Rescission of the New Shipper Review for Yancheng Baolong Biochemical Products, Co. Ltd.: Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China, October 12, 1999, 64 FR 55236).
The Department has determined that because of certain complex issues, it is not practicable to complete this review within the normal time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 (h)(2) of the Department's regulations (see Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Antidumping Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews of Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China, dated November 19, 1999). Therefore, in accordance with these sections, the Department is extending the time limits for the final results to April 9, 2000.
This extension of time limits is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.
Dated: November 19, 1999. Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
