SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on lightweight thermal paper from Germany 
(LTWP), covering the period November 1, 2009, to October 31, 2010. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 81565 (December 28, 
2010). The preliminary results are currently due no later than August 
2, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department 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 to up to 365 
days. We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the 
Department needs additional time to analyze complex issues regarding 
the rebate program and petitioner's allegation of duty absorption. 
Given the complexity of these issues, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results of this review by 120 days. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than November 30, 2011. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 6, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
