SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background Information

    On April 27, 2009, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on certain welded carbon steel standard pipe 
from Turkey covering the period of review January 1, 2008, through 
December 31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 19042 (April 27, 2009). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than December 1, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
or finding for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 
days.
    The respondents under review are Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve 
Ticaret A.S., Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., Tosyali dis Ticaret 
A.S., Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. and the Government of 
Turkey. In this review, there are 12 programs and new subsidies 
allegations, which the Department continues to examine. As such, we 
have determined that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the 245-day period. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the 
time period for issuing the preliminary results of the review by 120 
days. The preliminary results are now due no later than March 31, 2010. 
The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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