SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 30, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from 
Belgium, covering the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 
2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 
37759, 37763 (June 30, 2010). The preliminary results of this 
administrative review are currently due no later than January 31, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue 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 and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are 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 these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review, analyze, and 
verify submitted information and to issue supplemental questionnaires. 
Therefore, it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
originally anticipated time limit, and the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 120 days to no 
later than May 31, 2011, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. Accordingly, the deadline for completion of the preliminary 
results is now no later than May 31, 2011.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 21, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
