SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China (PRC) 
for the period September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 2010). We initiated an administrative 
review of six companies. On February 28, 2011, we rescinded the review 
of the order with respect to Yancheng Hi-King. See Freshwater Crawfish 
Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China: Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review in Part, 76 FR 10879 (February 
28, 2011). On June 6, 2011, we extended the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by 46 days until July 18, 2011. See 
Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 32357 (June 6, 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 complete the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and the final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is 
not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the extended time limit because we 
require additional time to analyze the allegation of middleman dumping 
and the record information pertaining to the allegation. In addition, 
the numerous extensions requested by, and granted to, the interested 
parties for filing various responses has contributed to the 
Department's need for additional time to complete the preliminary 
results. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by an additional 74 days until 
September 30, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: July 13, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
