SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 19, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires 
from the People's Republic of China. See New Pneumatic Off-the-Road 
Tires From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 64268 (October 19, 
2010) (Preliminary Results). This administrative review covers the 
period December 17, 2007, through December 31, 2008. The current 
deadline for the final results of review is February 16, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), the Department shall issue 
final results in an administrative review of a countervailing duty 
order within 120 days after the date on which notice of the preliminary 
results were published in the Federal Register. However, if the 
Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) allow the

[[Page 4288]]

Department to extend the 120-day period to 180 days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
results of this review within the original time limit. The Department 
needs additional time to analyze novel issues related to 
creditworthiness, and the respondent's financial history. In accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we have decided to extend the due 
date for the completion of the final results of this review from 
February 16, 2011, to April 17, 2011, 180 days after the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Results.
    Because April 17, 2011, falls on a Sunday, it is the Department's 
long-standing practice to issue a determination the next business day 
when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any 
other day when the Department is closed. See Notice of Clarification: 
Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative 
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 
70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the deadline for the 
completion of these final results is now no later than April 18, 2011.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 18, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
