Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete 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 these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to 
a maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit because of the 
complexity of issues involving the analysis of surrogate value data on 
the record and because of the additional extensions we have granted, at 
the request of various parties, to review and submit post-preliminary 
surrogate value data, case briefs and rebuttal comments. Therefore, we 
are extending the time period for issuing the final results of this 
review by 40 days until May 14, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 7, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
