30374 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 104 / Tuesday, June 1, 2010 / Notices 

Background 

On July 29, 2009, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

polyester staple fiber from the PRC. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Deferral of Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 37690 (July 29, 2009). On 

February 9, 2010, the Department 

published a notice extending the 

deadline of the preliminary results by 

101 days. See Certain Polyester Staple 

Fiber from the People’s Republic of 

China: Extension of Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 6352 (February 9, 2010). 

On February 16, 2010, the Department 

issued a memorandum that tolled the 

deadlines for all Import Administration 

cases by seven calendar days due to the 

recent Federal Government closure. See 

Memorandum for 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. The preliminary results of this 

review are currently due no later than 

June 18, 2010. 

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 preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested and a final determination 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results are published. 

However, 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 preliminary 

determination to a maximum of 365 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results of Review 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of 

this administrative review within the 

extended time limit because the 

Department requires additional time to 

analyze supplemental questionnaire 

responses and evaluate surrogate value 

submissions for purposes of the 

preliminary results. 

Therefore, the Department is fully 

extending the time limit for completion 

of the preliminary results of this 

administrative review by 19 days. The 

preliminary results will now be due no 

later than July 7, 2010. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after the 

publication of the preliminary results. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: May 24, 2010. 

John M. Andersen, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 19, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) issued the 

preliminary results of the fifth new 

shipper review for the period August 1, 

2008, through January 31, 2009. See 

Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Preliminary Results of New Shipper 

Review, 75 FR 4350 (January 29, 2010) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). On February 12, 

2010, the Department tolled 

administrative deadlines, including in 

the instant review, by one calendar 

week. See Tolling of Administrative 

Deadlines As a Result of the 

Government Closure during the Recent 

Snowstorm, dated February 12, 2010 

(‘‘Tolling Memo’’). On February 16, 

2010, the Department extended the 

deadlines for submission of surrogate 

value data, surrogate value rebuttal 

comments, case and rebuttal briefs. See 

Memorandum to the File, from Javier 

Barrientos, Senior Case Analyst, Certain 

Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam, dated February 16, 

2010. On March 4, 2010, the Department 

extended the deadlines for submission 

of case and rebuttal briefs. See 

Memorandum to the File, from Javier 

Barrientos, Senior Case Analyst, Certain 

Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam, dated March 4, 

2010. On April 26, 2010, the 

Department extended the deadline for 

the final results in the instant review by 

30 days. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets 

from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results of the Fifth New Shipper 

Review, 75 FR 26199 (April 26, 2010). 

The final results are currently due on 

May 26, 2010 (inclusive of the seven 

day extension per the Tolling Memo). 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the final results in 

a new shipper review of an antidumping 

duty order 90 days after the date on 

which the preliminary results are 

issued. The Department may, however, 

extend the deadline for completion of 

the final results of a new shipper review 

to 150 days if it determines that the case 

is extraordinarily complicated. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(2). 

The Department determines that this 

new shipper review involves 

extraordinarily complicated 

methodological issues and is extending 

the deadline because it needs more time 

to analyze additional data placed on the 

record following the Preliminary 

Results. This additional data presents a 

number of complex factual and legal 

questions with regard to issues of 

surrogate country selection and the 

surrogate value of whole fish. Thus, the 

Department requires additional time to 

analyze these data and address these 

circumstances in these reviews. 

Accordingly, because the Department 

requires additional time to complete the 

final results, we are extending the time 

for the completion of the final results of 

this review by 30 days, from the present 

due date of May 26, 2010, to June 25, 

2010. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). 

Dated: May 19,2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
