Background

    On May 28, 2010, Department of Commerce (``Department'') published 
the notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative 
review on certain activated carbon from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''), covering the period April 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 75 FR 29976 (May 28, 2010) (``Initiation Notice'').
    On October 6, 2010, the Department published a notice extending the 
time period for issuing the preliminary results by 120 days to April 
30, 2011. See Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of 
China: Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of the Third 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 61697 (October 6, 2010). 
On April 29, 2011, the Department published the preliminary results of 
this review. See Preliminary Results of the Third Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, and Preliminary Rescission in Part: Certain 
Activated Carbon from the People's Republic of China, 75 FR 23978 
(April 29, 2011) (``Preliminary Results''). The final results are 
currently due on August 27, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. The Department 
may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the final results 
of an administrative review to 180 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department requires additional time to complete this review 
because the Department must fully analyze and consider significant 
issues raised in the parties' case and rebuttal briefs. Additionally, 
the Department released information related to the wage rate 
calculation after publication of the Preliminary Results and has 
received additional comments which it must analyze and consider in 
addition to the case and rebuttal briefs. Thus, it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the time specified under the Act. 
Therefore, we are fully extending the time for the completion of the 
final results of this review by 60 days to October 26, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act.

    Dated: July 15, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
