Republic of China: Extension of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review 
of certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC''). This review covers the period September 1, 2009, 
through August 31, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: June 1, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Begnal or Raquel Silva, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
1442 or (202) 482-6475, respectively.

Background

    On October 28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of the second administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires 
from the PRC. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 2010). The preliminary 
results of this review are currently due no later than June 2, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

[[Page 31585]]

Act''), requires the Department to issue its preliminary results within 
245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for 
which a review is requested and to issue its final results 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 time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 
days after the last day of the anniversary month.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete the instant administrative review within the original time 
limits established by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we 
require additional time to analyze questionnaire and supplemental 
questionnaire responses, to issue additional supplemental 
questionnaires if necessary, and to evaluate the most appropriate 
surrogate values on the administrative record to use in this segment of 
the proceeding. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completing the 
preliminary results of the instant administrative review until 
September 30, 2011, which is 365 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The deadline 
for the final results of this review continues to be 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

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