Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
``Act''), and

[[Page 34208]]

section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations require the 
Department to issue the preliminary results of a new shipper review 
within 180 days after the date on which the new shipper review was 
initiated and final results within 90 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are issued. However, the Department may extend the 
deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a new shipper 
review to 300 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated.\3\

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated as the Department must issue, and analyze the responses to, 
additional supplemental questionnaires concerning Quan Li's and 
Yongnuo's sales practices and factors of production. Moreover, the 
Department needs additional time to analyze the bona fide nature of 
Quan Li's and Yongnuo's sales, which includes gathering data from U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection. Based on the timing of the case and the 
additional information that must be gathered, the preliminary results 
of this new shipper review cannot be completed within 180 days.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by an 
additional 44 days from the June 1, 2011, deadline. As a result, the 
preliminary results will now be due no later than July 15, 2011. The 
final results continue to be due 90 days after the issuance of the 
preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

     Dated: June 1, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
