Magnesium Metal from the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Time for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 18, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4243.

Background

    On April 21, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of this administrative review for the 
period April 1, 2008, to March 31, 2009. See Magnesium Metal from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 2008-2009 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 20817 (April 21, 2010). 
The final results of review are currently due on August 19, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which 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. Completion of the final 
results of the administrative review within the 120-day period is not 
practicable because the Department requires additional time to analyze 
information obtained at verification; analyze extensive surrogate value 
information, case and rebuttal briefs; and to hold a public hearing.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of the administrative review to 180 days, 
until October 18, 2010, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: August 10, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
