Pure Magnesium From the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Time for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: September 25, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4243.

Background

    On June 8, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of this administrative review for the 
period May 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008. See Pure Magnesium from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 27090 (June 8, 2009). The final results of 
review are currently due on October 6, 2009.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue final results 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. Completion of the 
final results of the administrative review within the 120-day period is 
not practicable because the Department requires additional time to 
analyze information obtained at verification; issue detailed 
verification reports; analyze extensive surrogate value information, 
case and rebuttal briefs; and to hold a public hearing.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of the administrative review to 180 days, 
until December 5, 2009, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. Because December 5, 2009, falls on a Saturday, the new deadline 
for the final results will be the next business day, Monday, December 
7, 2009, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(b).
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: September 18, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
