SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background
On May 3, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
published in the Federal Register a notice for opportunity to request
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR
23236 (May 3, 2010). Respondent, Tianjin Magnesium International Co.,
Ltd. (``TMI''), requested a review on May 26, 2010. Petitioner, US
Magnesium LLC (``US Magnesium''), requested a review of TMI on June 1,
2010. The Department published in the Federal Register a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of TMI for the period May 1,
2009, through April 30, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation
In Part, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). Currently, the preliminary
results of
[[Page 1404]]
review are due no later than January 30, 2011.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Because January 30, 2011, falls on a Sunday, a non-business
day, the current deadline for the preliminary results will be due no
later than January 31, 2011, the next business day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the
foregoing time period.
We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the
Department requires additional time to analyze information pertaining
to the respondent's sales practices, factors of production, to review
responses to questionnaires, and to issues supplemental questionnaires.
Therefore, we require additional time to complete these preliminary
results. As a result, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion of the
preliminary results of this review by 120 days until May 31, 2011.
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: January 4, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
