of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 23974 (April 29, 
2011) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department 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 needs additional time to analyze 
complex issues regarding affiliation and knowledge of U.S. destination. 
Given the complexity of these issues, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the final results of this review to 180 days. Therefore, the final 
results are now due no later than October 26, 2011.
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 19, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
