Pure Magnesium 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: September 23, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eve Wang, 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) 482-6231.

Background

    On June 8, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of this administrative review for the 
period May 1, 2009, to April 30, 2010. See Pure Magnesium from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 2009-2010 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 33194 (June 8, 2011). The 
final results of review are currently due on October 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. The Department determines 
that completion of the final results of the administrative review 
within the 120-day period is not practicable. Since the publication of 
the Preliminary Results, parties have submitted additional surrogate 
value information, the Department released its labor wage surrogate 
value data and allowed parties to submit comments thereon, and the 
parties submitted case and rebuttal briefs. The Department requires 
additional time to consider this information and argument. Further, the 
Department provided the opportunity for the parties to be heard at a 
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 by 45 days, or 
until November 21, 2011,\1\ in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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, because 
45 days from the original due date is November 20, 2011, which falls 
on Sunday, November 21 is the deadline for the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

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