Postponement

On July 2, 1997, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')

initiated the countervailing duty investigation of Fresh Atlantic

Salmon from Chile. Respondents have indicated that they will be

cooperating in the investigation. In addition, we are investigating a

large number of potentially complex alleged countervailable subsidy

practices. Accordingly, as detailed in our July 15, 1997, Memorandum to

the File, we deem this investigation to be extraordinarily complicated.

Therefore, pursuant to section 703(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (``the Act''), we are postponing the preliminary determination

in this investigation no later than November 10, 1997.

This notice is published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act.

Dated: July 18, 1997.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
