SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 30, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India covering the 
period February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 15679 (March 30, 2010). The preliminary 
results for this administrative review are currently due no later than 
October 31, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the final results within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    Due to the complexity of the issues in this case, the Department 
requires additional time to review and analyze the respondent's sales 
and cost information and to issue supplemental questionnaires. In 
addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.307(b)(1)(iii), the Department plans 
to conduct verification in response to Venus Wire Industries Pvt. 
Ltd.'s (``Venus'') request for revocation.\1\ The Department will 
require time to conduct the verification and to write its verification 
report, prior to publishing the preliminary results. Thus, it is not 
practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within 
the original time limit (i.e., October 31, 2010). Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results to no later than February 28, 2011, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Venus' February 24, 2010, letter ``Request for 
Revocation of Dumping Order.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
