Administrative Review

Department of Commerce.

CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade

Background

    On October 18, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published the preliminary results of the antidumping 
duty administrative review on certain lined paper products (``CLPP'') 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period 
September 1, 2008, to August 31, 2009. See Certain Lined Paper Products 
From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of 
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 63814 (October 18, 
2010). The final results of review are currently due on February 15, 
2011.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 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 180 days. Completion of the final 
results of the administrative review within the 120-day period is not 
practicable because an issue arose late in the proceeding regarding 
improperly submitted business proprietary information. This issue 
requires the rejection and resubmission of briefs. The Department will 
need additional time to ensure proper treatment of this information.
    Given that the parties have been provided additional time to submit 
a brief and a rebuttal in this case, only upon receipt of those 
submissions will the Department be able to consider the arguments 
raised by parties. This will require additional time for the Department 
to address the claims in the case and rebuttal briefs the parties will 
file. Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of the administrative review to 180 days, 
until April 18, 2011, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: January 31, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
