SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel 
plate products from Italy. See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality 
Steel Plate Products From Italy: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 4779 (January 29, 2010). The review 
covers the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. The final 
results of this administrative review were originally due no later than 
May 29, 2010. As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, the Department has exercised its 
discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the 
Federal Government from February 5 through February 12, 2010. Thus, the 
deadline for the final results of this administrative review has been 
extended by seven days, until June 5, 2010. See Memorandum to the 
Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration, regarding 
``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government 
Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' dated February 12, 2010.

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 issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date 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 time limit for the final 
results up to 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this 
review by June 5, 2010, because the Department requires additional time 
to consider the extensive comments submitted by the interested parties 
in relation to the preliminary results of this review. Consequently, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results of this 
administrative review by 60 days to August 4, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: May 20, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
