SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 11, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products from India covering the period 
January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008. See Certain Hot-Rolled 
Carbon Steel Flat Products From India: Preliminary Results of 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 1496 (January 11, 
2010). Therefore, the final results were originally due no later than 
May 11, 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 final results of this review 
is now May 18, 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 Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a final determination within 
120 days after the date on which the preliminary results is published. 
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 120-day period to issue its 
final results to up to 180 days.
    Due to the issues in this administrative review, such as the number 
and complexity of programs under review during the POR, we have 
determined that it is not practicable to complete the final results 
within the 120-day period. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the final results of the review by 60 days. The final results are now 
due no later than July 17, 2010. However, because July 17, 2010, falls 
on a weekend, the actual due date will be the first business day 
following the weekend, i.e., July 19, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: April 5, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
