SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 29, 2010, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of antidumping duty administrative review of certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products from India for the period December 1, 
2008, through November 30, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation in 
Part, and Deferral of Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 4770

[[Page 55743]]

(January 29, 2010) (``Initiation Notice''). The current deadline for 
the preliminary results of this administrative review is September 9, 
2010.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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. 
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. Thus, all deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding were extended by seven days. The revised deadline for the 
preliminary results of the 2008-2009 antidumping duty administrative 
review is therefore September 9, 2010. The final results of this 
review continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze the 
status of entries subject to this administrative review. Thus, it is 
not practicable to complete this review within the originally 
anticipated time limit (i.e., by September 9, 2010). Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 
120 days. The preliminary results are now due no later than January 7, 
2011. The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication 
of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 8, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
