SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 7, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 (CVP-23) from 
India. See Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India: Preliminary Results 
of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 977 (January 7, 
2010). This administrative review covers the period January 1, 2007 
through December 31, 2007. This review covers one producer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States, Alpanil Industries Ltd. 
(Alpanil).
    On February 12, 2010, the Department issued a memorandum revising 
all case deadlines. As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, the Department exercised 
its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the 
Federal Government from February 5 through February 12, 2010. See 
Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import 
Administration, Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the 
Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm, dated February 12, 
2010, a public document on file in the Department's Central Records 
Unit (CRU) in Room 1117 of the main Department building. Thus, all 
deadlines in all proceedings were extended by seven days. Consequently, 
the deadline for the final results of this review was revised from May 
7, 2010 to May 14, 2010.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), the Department shall issue 
final results in an administrative review of a countervailing duty 
order within 120 days after the date on which notice of the preliminary 
results was published in the Federal Register. However, if the 
Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time limits, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2) allow the Department to extend the 120-day period up to 
180 days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
results of this review within the original time limit. The Department 
had to request additional information from Alpanil after the 
preliminary results. Consequently, the Department needs additional time 
to analyze this information and to consider comments filed by the 
parties. In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department has decided to extend the time limit for the final results 
from 120 days to 145 days; the final results will now be due no later 
than June 8, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 6, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
