SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 13, 2010, the Department of Commerce (Department)
published the preliminary results of the 2008/2009 administrative
review of the antidumping duty order covering light-walled rectangular
pipe and tube from Mexico. See Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube
from Mexico: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 75 FR 55559 (September 13, 2010) (Preliminary Results). In the
Preliminary Results, we invited parties to comment. See Preliminary
Results, 75 FR at 55567. Respondent companies Nacional de Acero S.A. de
C.V., Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S.A. de C.V. (Regiopytsa), and
Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero) submitted case briefs on October
13, 2010. On October 18, 2010, the domestic interested parties (Atlas
Tube, Bull Moose Tube Company, and Searing Industries, Inc.), submitted
a rebuttal brief to Maquilacero's case brief and requested that
Regiopytsa's case brief be rejected because of improper service.
Respondent Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. and its affiliates Hylsa S.A. de
C.V., Galvak S.A. de C.V., and Industrias Monterrey S.A. de C.V., also
submitted a rebuttal brief on October 18, 2010. On October 25, 2010,
the Department accepted Regiopytsa's case brief but provided additional
time for all interested parties to submit rebuttal comments on the
brief. On October 27, 2010, the domestic interested parties submitted a
rebuttal brief to Regiopytsa's case brief.
The current deadline for the final results of this review is
January 11, 2011.
Extension of Time Limits for Final Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), requires the Department to complete the final results of an
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published. However, 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 the 120-day time period for the
final results up to 180 days.
The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this
review within the original time frame because additional time is
required to analyze some of the more complex issues raised by
interested parties. For example, among other things, we need to further
analyze cost adjustments related to revenues earned by Maquilacero on a
special project and those related to sales of merchandise not produced
during the period of review. Accordingly, the Department is extending
the time limit for completion of the final results of this
administrative review until no later than February 10, 2011, which is
150 days after the date on which the preliminary results of review were
published.
This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: December 30, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
