DATES: Effective Date: March 25, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Lord, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9,

Background

    On January 15, 2010 the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the new shipper review for Qingdao 
Denarius Manufacture Co., Ltd for the period January 23, 2008, through 
January 31, 2009. See Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of 
China: Notice of Preliminary Results of the New Shipper Review, 75 FR 
2483 (January 15, 2010) (``Preliminary Results''). On February 16, 
2010, the Department issued a memorandum that tolled the deadlines for 
all Import Administration cases by seven calendar days due to the 
recent Federal Government closure. See Memorandum for the Record from 
Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration, Tolling of 
Administrative Deadlines as a Result of the Government Closure During 
the Recent Snowstorm, dated February 12, 2010. As a result, the final 
results are currently due on April 15, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19

[[Page 14424]]

CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the preliminary 
results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the date on which 
the new shipper review was initiated and the final results of a review 
within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results were 
issued. The Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion 
of the final results of a new shipper review to 150 days if it 
determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated because of issues related to surrogate valuation and other 
calculation-related issues. In addition, based on the Department's 
extension of the briefing schedule and the additional information that 
must be analyzed, the final results of this new shipper review cannot 
be completed within the statutory time limit of 90 days. Accordingly, 
the Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the 
final results by 60 days until June 14, 2010, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

    Dated: March 19, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
