SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is extending the 
time limit for the final results of the fifth administrative review of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). The review covers the period February 1, 2009, through 
January 31, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: May 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kabir Archuletta, AD/CVD Operations,

Background

    On April 9, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of the fifth administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the PRC. 
See Notice of Initiation of Administrative Reviews and Requests for 
Revocation in Part of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the 
People's Republic of China, 75 FR 18154 (April 9, 2010). On February 
14, 2011,

the Department published the preliminary results of the review. See 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results and Preliminary Partial Rescission of the Fifth 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 8338 (February 14, 2010).

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), requires the 
Department to make a final determination in an administrative review of 
an antidumping duty order 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 120 day period to 180 days 
after the preliminary results if it determines it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the foregoing time period.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of the fifth administrative review of certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp from the PRC within the 120 day time limit because the 
Department requires additional time to analyze case and rebuttal 
briefs.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the final 
results of this review, which is currently due on June 14, 2011, by 60 
days to 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results were 
published. Therefore, the final results are now due no later than 
August 13, 2011.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Because August 13, 2011, falls on a Saturday, the actual 
date for the final results will be the next business day, August 15, 
2011. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business 
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to 
the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 18, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
