Frontseating Service Valves From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: August 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4243.

Background

    On May 9, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of this administrative review for the 
period October 22, 2008, to March 31, 2010. See Frontseating Service 
Valves from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 
2008-2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Rescission 
of Review, 76 FR 26686 (May 9, 2011). The final results of review are 
currently due on September 6, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time period to a maximum of 180 days. Completion of the final 
results of the administrative review within the 120-day period is not 
practicable because the Department requires additional time to analyze 
data submitted after the preliminary results, to allow time for parties 
to submit rebuttal information regarding changes to the Department's 
wage rate methodology, and to consider the arguments raised by the 
parties in the case and rebuttal briefs and provided at the hearing.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of the administrative review to 180 days, 
until November 5, 2011, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. However, where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, 
the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See Notice of 
Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the final 
results of review will be due no later than November 7, 2011.
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: August 16, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
