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 polyethylene retail carrier bags from Thailand for the 
period August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010). The 
preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due no 
later than May 3, 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 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 May 3, 2011, because 
we require additional time to analyze complex cost issues raised by the 
petitioner in this administrative review. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this 
review by 15 days to May 18, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 2, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
