SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 13, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 
from Thailand. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from 
Thailand: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 18788 (April 13, 2010) (Preliminary 
Results). This administrative review covers the period March 1, 2008 
through February 28, 2009. This review covers one producer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise to the United States, Saha Thai Steel Pipe 
(Public) Company, Ltd.

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 an antidumping duty order 
within 120 days after the date on which notice of the preliminary 
results is 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 a 
180-day period.
    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 
requested comments from interested parties on the effect, if any, of 
the application of the quarterly cost methodology on the Department's 
level of trade analysis. In particular, the Department requested that 
parties comment on whether the quarterly cost approach requires an 
evaluation on a quarterly basis of the pattern of price differences and 
how any such differences should be analyzed for purposes of determining 
whether a level of trade adjustment is warranted. Consequently, the 
Department needs additional time to consider comments that were filed 
by the parties and to develop an appropriate analytical approach.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department has decided to extend the time limit for 
the final results from 120 days to 180 days, making the new due date 
for the final results, October 10, 2010. However, October 10, 2010 
falls on a Sunday, and Monday, October 11, 2010 is a federal holiday. 
It is the Department's long-standing practice to issue a determination 
the next business day when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, 
federal holiday, or any other day when the Department is closed. See 
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the deadline 
for the completion of the final results is now October 12, 2010, the 
first business day following the 180-day period.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 14, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
