SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    At the request of interested parties, on August 25, 2009, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
this antidumping duty administrative review. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 42873, August 25, 2009. The review covers 
the period July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009. On January 21, 2010, 
the Department published an extension of the deadline for the 
preliminary results of review, setting a new deadline of June 30, 2010. 
See Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From Finland: Extension of Time 
Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 75 FR 3444 (January 21, 2010). In addition, the Department 
exercised its discretion to toll the deadline an additional seven days 
to account for the closure of the federal government from February 5, 
2010, to February 12, 2010. See Memorandum to the File from Ronald K. 
Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration, ``Tolling of Administrative 
Deadlines As a Result of the Government Closure During the Recent 
Snowstorm,'' dated February 12, 2010. As a result, the preliminary 
results for this administrative review are currently due no later than 
July 7, 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 complete the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for

[[Page 39208]]

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 period for the 
preliminary results up to 365 days.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the present deadline because we require additional 
time to complete our analysis of the respondent's cost-of-production 
data and to analyze other information needed for our preliminary 
results. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limits for 
completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review 
until no later than August 2, 2010. We intend to issue the final 
results in this review no later than 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 25, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
