SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register its notice of opportunity to request 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbazole 
violet pigment 23 (CVP 23) from the People's Republic of China (PRC). 
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 73 FR 
72764 (December 1, 2008). In response, on December 30, 2008, Trust Chem 
Co., Ltd. (Trust Chem) requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on CVP 23 from the PRC for the period December 
1, 2007 through November 30, 2008. On February 2, 2009, the Department 
published a notice of initiation of this administrative review. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 5821 (February 2, 
2009). The current deadline for the preliminary results of this review 
is September 2, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. 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 245-day time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 
days.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit because we require 
additional time to develop the record fully and analyze information 
related to Trust Chem's U.S. sales and the market economy purchases 
made by Nantong Longding Chemical Co. Ltd., the manufacturer which sold 
CVP 23 to Trust Chem. For these reasons, it is impracticable to 
complete the preliminary results of this administrative review within 
the originally-specified time limit. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of 
this administrative review until no later than December 22, 2009, which 
is 356 days from the last day of the anniversary month. We intend to 
issue the final results no later than 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results notice.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 30, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
