Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is extending the 
time limit for the final results of the administrative review of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp (``shrimp'') from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''). The review covers the period 
February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Pulongbarit, Paul Walker, or 
Jerry Huang, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-4031, (202) 482-0413, or (202) 482-4047, respectively.

Background

    On March 4, 2011, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the review of shrimp from Vietnam. See Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results, 
Partial Rescission, and Request for Revocation, In Part, of the Fifth 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 12054 (March 4, 2011). The final results 
are currently due no later than August 16, 2011. See Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Extension of 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 36519 
(June 22, 2011).

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), requires the 
Department to make a final determination in an administrative review of 
an antidumping duty order within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the 120-day period to 180 days 
after the preliminary results if it determines it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the foregoing time period.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this administrative review within the 120-day time limit, as 
currently extended, because the Department requires additional time to 
analyze issues in case and rebuttal briefs submitted by parties, 
including comments on surrogate country selection, the wage rate 
calculation, and shrimp surrogate value.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the final 
results of this review, which is currently due on August 16, 2011, by 
15 days to 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
were published. Therefore, the final results are now due no later than 
August 31, 2011.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: August 5, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
