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 certain circular welded non-
alloy steel pipe (``circular welded pipe'') from the Republic of Korea 
(``Korea'') for the period November 1, 2009, through 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 current deadline for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review is August 2, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    The Department requires additional time to analyze sales and cost 
information submitted by the respondents in this administrative review 
because this review involves complex sales and accounting issues. Thus, 
it is not practicable to complete this review within the originally 
anticipated time limit (i.e., by August 2, 2011). Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results by 120 days to not later than November 30, 2011, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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