SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 30, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished or unfinished 
(``TRBs''), from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 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). On February 19, 2009, the Department published a notice in the 
Federal Register extending the time limit for the preliminary results 
of review by 90 days, until June 1, 2009. See Tapered Roller Bearings 
and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, from the People's Republic 
of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the 
2007-2008 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 
7661 (February 19, 2009).

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 for which a review is requested and a 
final determination within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the 
preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days after the last day 
of the anniversary month.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the current extended time limit because 
the Department requires additional time to analyze the supplemental 
questionnaire responses and issue additional supplemental 
questionnaires, if necessary. Therefore, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by an 
additional 30 days. Thus, the preliminary results of this review are 
being fully extended by 120 days from the original deadline of March 2, 
2009, which results in a new deadline of June 30, 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 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 21, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
