SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 31, 2009, the Department received a timely request from 
both Mexinox and Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, 
and North American Stainless (collectively, petitioners), to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils (S4 in coils) from Mexico. On 
August 25, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this administrative review, covering the period of July 1, 2008, to 
June 30, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 42875 (August 25, 2009). The current 
deadline for the preliminary results of this review is April 9, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department complete 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. 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 limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original

[[Page 17691]]

time frame because additional information from the respondent, Mexinox, 
is necessary to complete our analysis. The Department will not have 
sufficient time to obtain and analyze the new information prior to the 
current deadline for the preliminary results. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of this administrative review until no later than 
August 2, 2010. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 
days after publication of the preliminary results notice.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 1, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
