SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Annual Wholesale Trade Survey 

(AWTS) covers employer firms with 

establishments located in the United 

States and classified in wholesale trade 

as defined by the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

This sector comprises two main types of 

wholesalers: (1) Merchant wholesalers 

that sell goods on their own account 

(including sales offices and sales 

branches, except retail stores, 

maintained by manufacturing, refining, 

or mining enterprises apart from their 

plants or mines for the purpose of 

marketing their products) and (2) 

business to business electronic markets, 

agents, and brokers that arrange sales 

and purchases for others generally for a 

commission or fee. 

Firms are selected for this survey 

using a stratified random sample where 

strata are defined by industry and 

annual sales size. The sample, 

consisting of approximately 7,600 

wholesale businesses, is selected from 

the Business Register, which contains 

all Employer Identification Numbers 

(EINs) and listed establishment 

locations. The sample is updated 

quarterly to reflect employer ‘‘births’’ 

and ‘‘deaths’’ by adding new employer 

businesses identified in the Business 

and Professional Classification Survey 

and deleting firms and EINs when it is 

determined they are no longer active. 

Respondents are separated into three 

classifications: (1) Merchant wholesale 

establishments, excluding 

manufacturers’ sales branches and 

offices; (2) manufacturers’ sales 

branches and offices; and (3) agents, 

brokers, and business to business 

electronic markets. The first 

classification is asked to provide sales, 

e-commerce, inventories, method of 

inventory valuation, inventories held 

outside the United States, purchases, 

and operating expenses. The second 

classification is asked to provide sales, 

e-commerce, inventories, method of 

inventory valuation, inventories held 

outside the United States, and operating 

expenses. The third classification is 

asked to provide commissions, sales on 

their own account, and operating 

expenses. These data are collected to 

provide a sound statistical basis for the 

formation of policy by various 

government agencies. These data are 

used to satisfy a variety of public and 

business needs such as economic 

market analysis, company performance, 

and forecasting future demands. Results 

will be available, at the United States 

summary level, for selected wholesale 

industries approximately fourteen 

months after the end of the reference 

year. 

A new sample will be introduced 

with the 2011 AWTS. It is expected that 

approximately 60–70% of the 

companies that are asked to report will 

be doing so for the first time (and, 

consequently, 60–70% of the old sample 

will no longer be asked to report). In 

order to link estimates from the new and 

prior samples, we will be asking 

companies to provide data for 2011 and 

2010. The 2012 AWTS and subsequent 

years will request one year of data until 

a new sample is once again introduced. 

An additional change will occur with 

the 2012 AWTS. We will request data 

on detailed operating expenses that 

were previously requested under a 

separate supplemental mailing 

(conducted every 5 years). The last 

supplemental mailing was conducted in 

conjunction with the 2007 AWTS under 

OMB No. 0607–0942. While the 

wholesale portion of that program will 

be collapsed into the AWTS, we will 

continue to ask only the additional 

detailed expense questions every 5 

years. These detailed expense questions 

are only applicable to the merchant 

wholesale establishments, excluding 

manufacturers’ sales branches and 

offices.

Part, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). On

2011, we extended the due date for the 

completion of the preliminary results of 

reviews by 45 days. See Ball Bearings

Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United 

Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 

2647 (January 14, 2011). On February 

24, 2011, we also initiated the changedcircumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on ball bearings 

and parts thereof from Germany and 

announced our intent to conduct the 

changed-circumstances review in the 

context of the administrative review. 

See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof 

From Germany: Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty ChangedCircumstances Review, 76 FR 10335 

(February 24, 2011). The preliminary 

results of the reviews are currently due 

no later than March 17, 2011. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to complete the 

preliminary results within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested and the final results within 

120 days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are published. If it is 

not practicable to complete the review 

within these time periods, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the time limit for 

the preliminary results to a maximum of 

365 days after the last day of the 

anniversary month. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of 

these reviews within the current time 

limit because of the number of 

companies and complexity of various 

issues. Therefore, we are extending the 

time period for issuing the preliminary 

results of these reviews by 32 days until 

April 18, 2011. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe 

From the Republic of Korea: Extension 

of the Final Results of the Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

DATES: Effective Date: March 22, 2011.

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–1540 and (202) 

482–1779, respectively. 

Background 

On December 14, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published its preliminary 

results of the antidumping duty 

administrative review of circular 

welded non-alloy steel pipe from the 

Republic of Korea, covering the period 

November 1, 2008, through October 31, 

2009. See Circular Welded Non-Alloy 

Steel Pipe From the Republic of Korea: 

Preliminary Results of the Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 

77838 (December 14, 2010) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). Currently, the 

final results are due no later than April 

13, 2011. 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires 

that the Department issue the final 

results of an administrative review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results are published. If 

it is not practicable to complete the 

review within that time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the deadline for 

the final results to a maximum of 180 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are published. 

The Department has determined that 

it requires additional time to complete 

this review. A significant issue has been 

raised after the Preliminary Results and 

the Department needs to allow time for 

parties to provide information on the 

issue, brief the issue, and provide 

rebuttal comments. Thus, it is not 

practicable to complete this review by 

April 13, 2011, and the Department is 

extending the time limit for completion 

of the final results by an additional 60 

days to June 12, 2011, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

However, June 12, 2011, falls on a 

Sunday, and it is the Department’s longstanding practice to issue a 

determination the next business day 

when the statutory deadline falls on a 

weekend, federal holiday, or any other 

day when the Department is closed. 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). 

Accordingly, the deadline for 

completion of the final results is now no 

later than June 13, 2011. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: March 16, 2011.
