DATES: Effective Date: March 29, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dustin Ross, AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on solid urea from the Russian Federation for the period 
July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. 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.

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 in the 
Federal Register. If it is not practicable

[[Page 17381]]

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 this review by the current deadline of April 2, 2011, 
because we require additional time to analyze a complex affiliation 
issue pertaining to the exporter subject to this administrative review. 
Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary 
results of this review by 75 days to June 16, 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 23, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
