SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1, 2008, 
through April 30, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 30052 (June 24, 2009), as corrected in Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral 
of Administrative Review, 74 FR 37690 (July 29, 2009). The preliminary 
results of the reviews are currently due no later than February 1, 
2010.

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 complete the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and the final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is 
not practicable to complete the review

[[Page 2109]]

within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a 
maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the original time limit because we 
received requests from several respondents for extension of time to 
respond to our supplemental questionnaires and because we have 
scheduled verifications for several respondents in these reviews which 
have not yet been completed. Therefore, we are extending the time 
period for issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by 73 days 
until April 15, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: January 8, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
