SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating 
service valves for Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang DunAn Hetian 
Metal Co., Ltd. for the period October 22, 2008, through March 31, 
2010.\1\ Currently, the preliminary results of review are due no later 
than December 31, 2010. Because December 31, 2010, falls on a Federal 
holiday, a non-business day, the deadline for the preliminary results 
reverts to January 3, 2011, the next business day following the Federal 
holiday.\2\

Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 29976 (May 28, 2010).
    \2\ 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) 
(``Next Business Day Rule'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the 
Department requires additional time to analyze information pertaining 
to the respondent's sales practices, factors of production, and to 
issue and review responses to supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, 
we require additional time to complete these preliminary results. As a 
result, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the 
preliminary results of this review by 120 days until April 30, 2011. 
However, April 30, 2011, falls on a weekend, and it is the Department's 
long-standing practice to issue a determination on the next business 
day when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend.\3\ Accordingly, the 
deadline for completion of the preliminary results of the review is now 
no later than May 2, 2011.

    \3\ See Next Business Day Rule.

    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 30, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
