AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

DATES: Effective Date: December 3, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Thomas Schauer, AD/CVD Operations, Office 5,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 2, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of review of the antidumping duty 
order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from Thailand. See 
Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From Thailand: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 53953 (September 2, 
2010). The administrative review covers the period August 1, 2008, 
through July 31, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Final 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 final determination in 
an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. The Act 
provides further that the Department may extend that 120-day period to 
180 days after the preliminary results 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 
final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from Thailand within the 120-
day time limit due to the necessity of issuing a post-preliminary 
determination regarding whether it is appropriate to use an alternative 
cost methodology. We find that additional time is needed to complete 
the final results. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion 
of the final results of this review, which is currently due on December 
31, 2010, by 60 days to March 1, 2011, which is the 180th day after 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.
