Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    On September 30, 1998, the Department of Commerce received a 
request from Yancheng Baolong Biochemical Products Co., Ltd. to conduct 
a new-shipper review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater 
crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China. On October 30, 
1998 (63 FR 59762 published November 5, 1998), the Department initiated 
this new-shipper antidumping review covering the period March 26, 1997 
through August 31, 1998.
    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with that section, 
the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 
to July 17, 1999. This extension of time limits is in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act.

    Dated: March 5, 1999.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
