Administrative Review

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Greynolds or Jolanta Lawska, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

Background

    On November 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and 
certain alloy steel wire rod from Mexico, covering the period October 
1, 2009, through September 30, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 73036 (November 29, 
2010) (``Initiation Notice''). The preliminary results of the review 
are currently due no later than July 3, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245 day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245 day period is not practicable for the following 
reasons. This review requires the Department to gather and analyze a 
significant amount of information pertaining to the company's sales 
practices, manufacturing costs, and corporate relationships. Given the 
number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by 120 days. The preliminary 
results will now be due no later than October 31, 2011, the first 
business day following 120 days from the current deadline. 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). The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 3, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
