From the People's Republic of China: Extension of the Time Limit for 
the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

DATES: March 5, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Farlander and Erin Kearney, 
AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
0182 and (202) 482-0167, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 28, 2011, the Department of Commerce 
(``the Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
tapered roller bearings (``TRBs'') and parts thereof, finished or 
unfinished from the People's Republic of China. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests 
for Revocations in Part and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 
45227 (July 28, 2011). The period of review (``POR'') is June 1, 2010, 
through May 31, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. 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 time period to a maximum of 
365 days.
    The Department is extending the preliminary results by 120 days 
because the Department needs additional time to analyze information 
pertaining to Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd.'s (``CPZ/SKF'') and Peer 
Bearing Company's (``Peer/SKF'') U.S. sales and factors of production 
data and issue additional supplemental questionnaires. In addition, 
prior to the preliminary results, the Department will be conducting a 
mandatory verification of CPZ/SKF and Peer/SKF. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, because the Department 
finds that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
original deadlines, the Department is extending the time period for 
completing the preliminary results of the instant administrative review 
by 120 days, from March 1, 2012, until June 29, 2012. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

     Dated: February 23, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
