SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 16, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the 
administrative and new-shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China. See 
Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative and New-Shipper 
Reviews, 75 FR 34100 (June 16, 2010) (Preliminary Results). The reviews 
cover the period September 1, 2008, through August 31, 2009. The final 
results of the administrative and new-shipper reviews were originally 
due no later than October 14, 2010.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    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 are published. 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 time limit for the final results up 
to 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) 
require the Department to issue the final results of a new-shipper 
review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are issued. The Department may extend the deadline for completion of 
the final results of a new-shipper review to 150 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are issued if it determines that the case 
is extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    On March 29, 2010, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), a new 
shipper, Nanjing Gemsen International Co., Ltd., agreed to waive the 
applicable time limits for conducting the new-shipper review and 
consented to the alignment of the new-shipper review with the 
concurrent administrative review. See Preliminary Results, 75 FR at 
34101. Accordingly, we may extend the deadline of October 14, 2010, for 
completion of the final results of the new-shipper review to coincide 
with completion of the final results of the administrative review.
    We find that it is not practicable to complete these reviews by 
October 14, 2010, because we require additional time to analyze and 
address a complicated surrogate-value issue involving the most 
appropriate methodology for valuing labor for the final results of 
these reviews. Consequently, in accordance with

[[Page 64250]]

sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the Department 
is extending the time limit for completion of the final results of the 
administrative and new-shipper reviews by 60 days to December 13, 2010.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 13, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
