SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 30, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the notice of initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain for the 
period June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation 
in Part, and Deferral of Administrative Review, 73 FR 44220 (July 30, 
2008). The preliminary results of this administrative review are 
currently due no later than March 2, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), the Department shall issue 
preliminary results 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 is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing 
time period. See id.; see also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results by the current deadline of March 2, 2009 because it 
needs additional time to fully analyze the sales and cost-of-production 
supplemental questionnaire responses that are due from respondent, and 
to conduct cost and sales verifications of the questionnaire responses. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department has decided to extend the time limit for the preliminary 
results by 78 days to May 19, 2009. Unless extended, the final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 
351.213(h) of the Department's regulations.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 25, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
