Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Preliminary Intent To

and Extension of Time Limit for Final Results, 76 FR 38357 (June 30,

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department stated that it was 
extending the time limit to issue the final results of the review by 55 
days, thereby extending the previous deadline to August 18, 2011. 
However, it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period. Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.302(b), we are extending 
the time limit by 30 days.

    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this 
review by the current deadline. The Department has determined that it 
requires additional time to analyze the case and rebuttal briefs 
submitted by interested parties and to consider the unique facts and 
legal questions surrounding this changed circumstances review. 
Consequently, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.302(b), the Department is 
extending the time period for issuing the final results in this review 
by 30 days. Therefore, the final results will be due no later than 
September 19, 2011, as September 17, 2011, is a Saturday.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(b) and 771(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: August 10, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
