SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background 

On June 28, 2011, 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 oil country tubular goods from the 

People’s Republic of China covering 53 

companies for the period November 17, 

2009, through April 30, 2011. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 76 FR 37781 (June 28, 2011). The 

POR was corrected to May 19, 2010 

through April 30, 2011 in Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 53404 

(August 26, 2011) at footnote four. The 

preliminary results of review are 

currently due no later than January 31, 

2012. 

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 

respondents’ sales practices, factors of 

production, and to issue supplemental 

questionnaires and review the 

responses. 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 90 

days until April 30, 2012. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: January 6, 2012.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by United States 

citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specific geographical region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the 

taking will have a negligible impact on 

the species or stock(s), will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant), and if 

the permissible methods of taking and 

requirements pertaining to the 

mitigation, monitoring and reporting of 

such takings are set forth. NMFS has 

defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 

216.103 as ‘‘* * * an impact resulting 

from the specified activity that cannot 

be reasonably expected to, and is not 

reasonably likely to, adversely affect the 

species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA 

established an expedited process by 

which citizens of the United States can
