FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katie Marksberry, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 27, 2009, the Department of 
Commerce (``Department'') issued its preliminary results for the 
changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order of certain 
activated carbon from the People's Republic of China. See Certain 
Activated Carbon from the People's Republic of China: Notice of 
Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and 
Intent to Revoke Order in Part 74 FR 4736 (January 27, 2009) 
(Preliminary Results). On February 9, 2009, the Department received 
comments from Applica Consumer Products Inc., an importer of 
coffeemakers and self-cleaning litter boxes that uses filters. On 
February 17, 2009, the Department received comments from Calgon Carbon 
Corporation and Norti Americas Inc., petitioners in this proceeding, 
and also from Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp., the requestor of this changed 
circumstance review. The current deadline for the final results of this 
review is October 26, 2009.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    In our Preliminary Results, we indicated, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.216(e), that the Department will issue the final results in the 
instant changed circumstances review within 270 days after the date on 
which the changed circumstances review is initiated. Currently, the 
final results of this changed circumstances review are due October 26, 
2009. However, as explained below, the Department determines that good 
cause exists to extend the time limits for completion of this changed 
circumstances review. Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.302(b), we 
are extending the time limit by 60 days.
    Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, the Department received 
comments from interested parties. Because of those comments, the 
Department has determined that it requires additional time to analyze 
the complex issues raised by interested parties regarding the scope 
exclusion request. Consequently, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.302(b), 
the Department is extending the time period for issuing the final 
results in the instant review by 60 days. Therefore, the final results 
will be due no later than December 25, 2009. As December 25, 2009, is a 
Federal holiday, our final results will be issued no later than Monday, 
December 28, 2009.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(b) and 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: September 29, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
