SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 7, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice for the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip 
in coils from Japan covering the period July 1, 2007, through June 30, 
2008. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Japan: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 
39615 (August 7, 2009). The final results for this administrative 
review are currently due no later than December 7, 2009, the next 
business day after 120 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results of review.

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to 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 complete this review 
because case and rebuttal briefs will not be received until late 
November 2009. 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. The final 
results

are now due no later than February 3, 2010.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 22, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
