Time Limit for the Final Results

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce

DATES: Effective Date: October 13, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Walker, AD/CVD Operations, Office

Background

    On April 15, 2010 the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the Preliminary Results of the first administrative review of 
sodium hexametaphosphate From the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), 
covering the period September 14, 2007 through February 28, 2009. See 
First Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate From the 
People's Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 19613 (April 15, 2010) 
(``Preliminary Results''). On August 10, 2010 the Department extended 
the final results of review to October 5, 2010. See First Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate From the 
People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final 
Results, 75 FR 48309 (August 10, 2010).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    As noted in the August 10 extension notice, 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 have 
been published. 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 this deadline to a maximum of 180 days.
    The Department determines that completion of the final results of 
this review by the current deadline is not practicable. The Department 
requires more time to analyze a significant amount of information 
pertaining to the respondent's corporate structure and ownership, sales 
practices and manufacturing methods. Therefore, given the number and 
complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the final results of review until October 12, 2010.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(1)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: October 5, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
