Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 2, 2009

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Smith or Terre Keaton Stefanova, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Background

    On June 4, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors 
from the People's Republic of China (PRC) covering the period April 1, 
2007, through March 31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 73 FR 31813 (June 4, 2008).
    On December 18, 2008, we extended the preliminary results deadline 
from December 31, 2008, to March 2, 2009. See Brake Rotors From the 
People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 
FR 77004 (December 18, 2008).

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested. 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 this deadline to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit because the 
Department requires additional time to examine separate rate issues in 
this administrative review.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results from 306 days to 320 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The preliminary 
results are now due no later than March 16, 2009. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 2, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
