Postponement of Final Determination

    The Department of Commerce (``Department'') initiated the 
antidumping duty investigation of aluminum extrusions from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') on April 27, 2010.\1\ On November 12, 2010, 
the Department published the Preliminary

[[Page 73042]]

Determination in the Federal Register.\2\ The final determination of 
this antidumping duty investigation is currently due on January 10, 
2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: 
Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 75 FR 22109 
(``Initiation Notice'').
    \2\ See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: 
Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, and Preliminary Determination of Targeted Dumping, 75 FR 
69403 (November 12, 2010) (``Preliminary Determination'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') provides 
that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 
days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination 
if, in the event of an affirmative determination, a request for such 
postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a 
negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is 
made by petitioner. In addition, 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires that 
requests by respondents for postponement of a final determination be 
accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a 
four-month period to not more than six months.
    On November 1, 2010, Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd., 
Foshan Guangcheng Aluminium Co., Ltd., Kong Ah International Company 
Limited, and Guang Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Limited, 
(collectively, ``Guang Ya Group''), one of the entities comprising the 
sole active mandatory respondent in this investigation, requested an 
extension of the final determination and extension of the provisional 
measures.\3\ Thus, because the Preliminary Determination is 
affirmative, the respondent requesting extension of the final 
determination and extension of the provisional measures accounts for 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, and no 
compelling reasons for denial exist, we are extending the due date for 
the final determination in this investigation to no later than 135 days 
after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Aluminum Extrusions from the PRC: Request by Guang Ya 
Group for an Extension of the Final Determination (November 1, 
2010). See also Preliminary Determination, finding that Guang Ya 
Group, Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd., Zhongya Shaped 
Aluminium (HK) Holding Limited and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd., 
and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd. should be 
considered a single entity for purposes of this investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons identified above, we are postponing the final 
determination until March 28, 2011.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ March 27, 2011, is 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination. However, because March 
27, 2011, is a Sunday, we will postpone the due date to the next 
business day, Monday, March 28, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 777(i) and 
735(a)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

    Dated: November 15, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
