SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of antidumping and countervailing duty 
administrative reviews and requests for revocation in part for certain 
frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam covering the 
period August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010). The 
preliminary results are currently due on May 3, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results in an administrative review of an antidumping duty 
order 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order 
for which the administrative review was requested. The Department may, 
however, extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results 
of an administrative review to 365 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(h)(2).
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results within this time limit. The Department is extending 
the deadline because it has provided parties additional time to submit 
surrogate country comments and thus will require additional time to 
analyze these comments. We are therefore extending the time for the 
completion of the preliminary results of this review by 120 days to 
August 31, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: April 7, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
