SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 29, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 37690 (July 29, 2009). This review covers 
the period June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. The preliminary results 
of the review were due no later than March 2, 2010. As explained in the 
memorandum from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 
Administration, the Department has exercised its discretion to toll 
deadlines for the duration of the closure of the Federal Government 
from February 5, through February 12, 2010. Thus, all deadlines in this 
segment of the proceeding have been extended by seven days. The revised 
deadline for the preliminary results of this review is now March 9, 
2010. See Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for 
Import Administration, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines 
as a Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' 
dated February 12, 2010.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of chlorinated 
isocyanurates from the PRC within this time limit. Specifically, due to 
complex issues, e.g., factors of production and surrogate value 
selections, we find that additional time is needed to complete these 
preliminary results. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion 
of the preliminary results of this review by 60 days from March 9, 
2010, until May 8, 2010. However, because May 8, 2010, falls on a 
weekend, the actual due date will be the first business day following 
the weekend, i.e., May 10, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

     Dated: February 23, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
