Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan; 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
1131 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.

Background

    On June 30, 2010, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of this antidumping duty administrative review. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). The respondents 
were initially Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing) and Yieh 
Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui). On November 18, 2010, the 
Department published a notice rescinding the review with respect to 
Yieh Hsing. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From 
Taiwan: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 75 FR 70723 (November 18, 2010). The current deadline for the 
preliminary results of this review is January 31, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to 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. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h).
    The Department finds it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time frame 
because we require additional time to analyze various issues involving, 
for example, Yieh Phui's cost allocation methodologies and reported 
date of sale methodology. Accordingly, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this 
administrative review by 120 days, to May 31, 2011. 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: January 13, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
