SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2009, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (pipes and tubes) from 
Thailand for the period March 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008. See 
Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 74 FR 44825 (August 31, 
2009) (Preliminary Results). This review covers the respondent, Pacific 
Pipe Public Company, Limited (Pacific Pipe), a producer/exporter of the 
subject merchandise to the United States.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The final results of this new shipper review are currently due on 
November 22, 2009. Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act) requires the Department to issue the final results 
of a new shipper review of an antidumping order within 90 days after 
the date the preliminary results are issued. However, if the review is 
extraordinarily complicated, the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 150 days. See 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). In this 
new shipper review, the Department conducted verification after the 
publication of the Preliminary Results. The Department must now perform 
additional analysis on the complex information collected at 
verification. Thus, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the Department is

extending the time period for issuing the final results of review by an 
additional 60 days to January 21, 2010.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: November 13, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
