SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain large diameter carbon and alloy 
seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe (over 4\1/2\ inches) from 
Japan, covering the review period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224, 44225 (July 
28, 2010). The current deadline for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review is March 2, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue 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 and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    The Department requires additional time to review claims made by 
certain respondents that they had no shipments of subject merchandise 
to the United States during the period of review. This entails not only 
reviewing company data but also information from U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection. As such, it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by March 2, 
2011). Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results by 120 days to not later than 
June 30, 2011, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 3, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
