SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 26, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``OTR tires'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period February 20, 2008, 
through August 31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009). On October 19, 2010, the 
Department published its preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping order on OTR tires from the PRC. See Certain 
New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 
64259 (October 19, 2010). The final results are currently due no later 
than February 16, 2011.

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 issue the final results in an 
administrative review 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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the current deadline because the 
Department continues to require additional time to analyze issues 
raised in recent surrogate value submissions, verification exhibits, 
and case briefs and rebuttals. Therefore, we are extending the time 
limit for completion of the final results by 30 days, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. An extension of 30 days from the 
current deadline of February 16, 2011, would result in a new deadline 
of March 18, 2011. As such, the final results are now due no later than 
March 18, 2011.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: January 31, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
