Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 29976 (May 28, 2010).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. 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 time period to a maximum of 
365 days.
    Completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 
245-day period is not practicable because the Department needs 
additional time to analyze information pertaining to the respondents' 
sales practices and factors of production, and to issue and review 
responses to supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time 
period for completing the preliminary results of the instant 
administrative review by 90 days until March 31, 2011. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

     Dated: November 24, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
