Background

    On May 29, 2009, Department of Commerce (``Department'') published 
the notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative 
review on certain activated carbon from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''), covering the period April 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 25711 (May 29, 2009) 
(``Initiation Notice'').
    On May 13, 2010, the Department published the preliminary results 
of this review. See Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic 
of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of the Second Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, and Preliminary Rescission in Part, 75 FR 26927 
(May 13, 2010) (``Preliminary Results''). On July 13, 2010, the 
Department extended the final results by 45 days. See Certain Activated 
Carbon From the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for 
Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 
39916 (July 13, 2010). The final results are currently due on October 
25, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. The Department 
may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the final results 
of an administrative review to 180 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department requires additional time to complete this review 
because the Department must analyze and consider significant issues 
raised in the parties' case and rebuttal briefs and fully analyze the 
parties' post-preliminary surrogate value submissions. Thus, it is not 
practicable to complete this review by the current due date. Therefore, 
we are extending the time for the completion of the final results of 
this review by an additional 15 days to November 9, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 28, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
