Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
``Act''), and 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.\4\

    \4\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act; see also section 
351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department has determined that the review is extraordinarily 
complicated as the Department must analyze the responses to 
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 the current time limits.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by an 
additional 11 days from the July 15, 2011, deadline. As a result, the 
preliminary results will now be due no later than July 26, 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: July 7, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
