Than Fair Value: Honey From the People's Republic of China (PRC)

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger or Karla Whalen,

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW.,

POSTPONEMENT OF FINAL DETERMINATION: The China Chamber of Commerce for

Foodstuffs, Native Produce and Animal By-products Importers and

Exporters (the Chamber), and 28 individual Chinese exporters,

respondents in this proceeding, represent a significant proportion of

exports of honey from the PRC to the United States. On March 17, 1995,

the Chamber and the 28 individual Chinese exporters requested that the

Department postpone the final determination until not later than 135

days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination in

accordance with section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

(the Act).

Pursuant to 19 CFR 353.20(b), if exporters who account for a

significant proportion of exports of the merchandise under

investigation request an extension subsequent to an affirmative

preliminary determination, we are required, absent compelling reasons

to the contrary, to grant the request. Such is the case with the

respondents in this investigation. Accordingly, we are postponing our

final determination as to whether sales of honey from the PRC have been

made at less than fair value until not later than August 2, 1995.

This notice is published pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act and

19 CFR 353.20(b)(2).
