SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 26, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``OTR tires'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period February 20, 2008, 
through August 31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009). On October 19, 2010, the 
Department published its preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping order on OTR tires from the PRC. See Certain 
New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 
64259 (October 19, 2010). On February 7, 2011, the Department published 
notice of a 30-day extension of time for the final results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping order on OTR tires from the 
PRC, resulting in a current due date of March 18, 2011. See Certain New 
Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the People's Republic of China: 
Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the 2008-
2009 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 6603 
(February 7, 2011).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 
180 days.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the current deadline because the 
Department continues to require additional time to analyze issues 
raised in recent surrogate value submissions, verification exhibits, 
and case briefs and rebuttals. Therefore, we are extending the time 
limit for completion of the final results by an additional 30 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. An additional 
extension of 30 days from the current deadline of March 18, 2011, would 
result in a new deadline of April 17, 2011. However, because April 17, 
2011, falls on a Sunday, a non-business day, the final results will now 
be due no later than April 18, 2011, the next business day. See Notice 
of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: March 14, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
