duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from

[[Page 15941]]

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom for the period 
May 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). On November 12, 2010, we 
rescinded in part the administrative reviews of the antidumping duty 
orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, 
Japan, and the United Kingdom. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From 
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 69402 
(November 12, 2010). On January 14, 2011, we extended the due date for 
the completion of the preliminary results of reviews by 45 days. See 
Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and 
the United Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 2647 (January 14, 2011). 
On February 24, 2011, we also initiated the changed-circumstances 
review of the antidumping duty order on ball bearings and parts thereof 
from Germany and announced our intent to conduct the changed-
circumstances review in the context of the administrative review. See 
Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From Germany: Initiation of Antidumping 
Duty Changed-Circumstances Review, 76 FR 10335 (February 24, 2011). The 
preliminary results of the reviews are currently due no later than 
March 17, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and the final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 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 results to a maximum of 365 days after 
the last day of the anniversary month.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of these reviews within the current time limit because of the 
number of companies and complexity of various issues. Therefore, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of these 
reviews by 32 days until April 18, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 16, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
