SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 26, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of tapered roller bearings and 
parts thereof, finished and unfinished (``TRBs'') from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 72 FR 41057 (July 26, 2007). On July 17, 2008, the Department 
published its preliminary results on TRBs from the PRC. See Tapered 
Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 73 FR 41033 (July 17, 2008). The final results 
of this administrative review are currently due no later than November 
14, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in 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 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.
    The Department has determined that completion of the final results 
within the 120-day period is not practicable because the Department 
requires additional time to analyze case and rebuttal briefs, and to 
hold a hearing. Because it is not practicable to complete this review 
within the current time limit, the Department is extending the time 
period for issuing the final results of review by 60 days, until 
January 13, 2009, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: November 13, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
