SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period June 1, 
2009, through May 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations 
in Part, 75 FR 44224 (July 28, 2010). The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than March 2, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

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

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    The Department finds it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time limit 
because we require additional time to analyze questionnaire and 
supplemental questionnaire responses, to issue additional supplemental 
questionnaires if necessary, and to evaluate the most appropriate 
surrogate values on the administrative record to use in this segment of 
the proceeding. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit 
for completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review 
by the full 120 days allowed under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. An 
extension of 120 days from this revised deadline would result in a new 
deadline of June 30, 2011, for the publication of the preliminary 
results. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
