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 day 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 publication of the preliminary results.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the 120-day time period

[[Page 17410]]

because it requires additional time to evaluate the surrogate value 
submissions and arguments made by the interested parties following the 
Preliminary Results. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for completing 
the final results of the administrative review from 120 days to 180 
days. The final results are now due no later than June 4, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 20, 2012.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
