SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of fresh 
garlic from the People's Republic of China covering 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 preliminary results of 
this administrative review are currently due no later than 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 its preliminary results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the order for which the 
administrative review was requested. However, if the Department 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
aforementioned specified time limits, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) allow 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.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
results of this review within the original time limit. Specifically, 
the Department requires additional time to analyze questionnaire 
responses, to issue supplemental questionnaires, and to evaluate the 
most appropriate surrogate values to use in this segment of the 
proceeding. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, the Department has decided to extend the time limit for the 
preliminary results from 245 days to 345 days. The preliminary results 
will now be due no later than November 10, 2011. Unless extended, the 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213(h)(1).
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 11, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
