FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Lindsay or Thomas Gilgunn, AD/

Background

    On December 24, 2008, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published the initiation of an administrative review of fresh garlic 
from the People's Republic of China. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 73 FR 79055 (December 24, 2008). On December 8, 2009, the 
Department published the preliminary results of this antidumping duty 
administrative review. See Fresh Garlic From the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of, and Intent To Rescind, in Part, the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 64677 (December 8, 2009) 
(Preliminary Results). The period of review for this administrative 
review is November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008. The final results 
are currently due on April 14, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), provides that the Department will issue the final results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the final 
results of an administrative review to 180 days if it determines it is 
not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time 
period. See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department determines that it is not practicable to complete 
the final results of this administrative review by the current deadline 
of April 14, 2010. Specifically, the Department requires additional 
time to analyze issues raised by interested parties. Thus, we are 
extending the time for completion of the final results of this 
administrative review by 30 days, as permitted by section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act. The final results are now due no later than May 17, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 8, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
