SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on certain pasta from Italy, 
covering the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Deferral of Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 
53274 (August 31, 2010). The preliminary results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than April 2, 2011.

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 a countervailing duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the 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 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 
submitted information and to issue supplemental questionnaires. 
Therefore, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of 
this review within the original time limit, and the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 
120 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than August 
1, 2011, the first business day following 120 days from the current 
deadline. 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). The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after the 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: January 31, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
