Shipper Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: December 2, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Ray, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9,

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5403.

Background

    The antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') was published in the Federal Register on 
November 4, 2009. See Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the 
People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea: Antidumping Duty 
Orders, 74 FR 57145 (November 4, 2009) (``Antidumping Duty Order''). On 
April 30, 2010, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``Act''), the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') received a new shipper review request from Pujiang 
Talent Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. (``PTDT''). PTDT's request was properly 
made on April 30, 2010, as May is the semi-annual anniversary of the 
Antidumping Duty Order. On June 28, 2010, the Department issued a 
notice of initiation of a new shipper review of diamond sawblades and 
parts thereof from the PRC covering the period of January 24, 2009, 
through April 31, 2010. See Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from 
the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review, 75 FR 36632 (June 28, 2010). The preliminary results 
are currently due no later than December 14, 2010.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act provides that the Department 
will issue the preliminary results of a new shipper review of an 
antidumping duty order within 180 days after the day on which the 
review was initiated. See also 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1). The Act further 
provides that the Department may extend that 180-day period to 300 days 
if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See also 
19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    The Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues such as the 
examination of importer information and the evaluation of the bona fide 
nature of PTDT's sales. In addition, the Department needs additional 
time to evaluate the affiliations amongst PTDT and other entities. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the Department is extending the time limit for 
these preliminary results by 120 days, until no later than April 13, 
2011. The final results continue to be due 90 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 26, 2010.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
