SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the 2006-2007 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on refined brown aluminum oxide 
(RBAO) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) covering the period 
November 1, 2006, to October 31, 2007. See Refined Brown Aluminum Oxide 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 72767 (December 1, 2008). The final 
results for this administrative review are currently due no later than 
March 31, 2009, 120 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results of review.

Extension of Time Limit of Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    The Department requires additional time to analyze the interested 
party comments concerning the issue of the appropriate surrogate value 
for the major raw material input in the production of RBAO. Thus, it is 
not practicable to complete this review within the original time limit. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the final results of this review by 60 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Accordingly, the final results are now due no 
later than June 1, 2009, the next business day after 180 days from the 
date of publication of the preliminary results of review.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 9, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
