SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on purified 
carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from the Netherlands. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral 
of Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 53274 (August 31, 2010). 
This review covers the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. The 
preliminary results for this administrative review are currently 
scheduled for April 2, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits 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 of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. 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 245 day time period for the preliminary results up to 365 days.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit because we require 
additional time to collect and analyze additional information regarding 
Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals B.V.'s calculation of certain expenses, 
needed for our preliminary results. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of 
this administrative review until no later than June 16, 2011, which is 
320 days from the last day of the anniversary month of this order. We 
intend to issue the final results in this review no later than 120 days 
after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 25, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
