Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires that the Department issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    Due to the voluminous surrogate value data on the record and the 
additional time provided to parties to review and submit rebuttal 
comments and case briefs, the Department finds that it is not 
practicable to review the surrogate value data and analyze the case 
brief comments within the scheduled time limit. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
fully extending the time for the completion of the final results of 
these reviews to March 14, 2011.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 17, 2010.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
