SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 30, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``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 July 8, 2009, the Department published its 
preliminary results on TRBs from the PRC. See Tapered Roller Bearings 
and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of the 2007 2008 Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 32539 (July 8, 2009). On October 15, 
2009, the Department extended the deadline for the final results by 30 
days. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and 
Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China; Extension of Time 
Limit for the Final Results of the 2007-2008 Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 52948 (October 15, 2009). The final 
results of this administrative review are currently due no later than 
December 5, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for 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 in an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which

[[Page 64664]]

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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the extended time limit because the 
Department requires additional time to analyze issues raised in 
parties' briefs and rebuttal briefs, which were also discussed in 
meetings with counsel for the parties, such as, surrogate values and 
third-country processing. Therefore, given the complexity of the issues 
in this case, we are extending the time limit for completion of the 
final results by an additional 21 days.
    An extension of 21 days from the current deadline of December 5, 
2009, would result in a new deadline of December 26, 2009. However, 
since December 26, 2009, falls on a Saturday, a non-business day, the 
final results will now be due no later than December 28, 2009, the next 
business day.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: December 1, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
