Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India and Thailand: Notice 
of Extension of Time Limits for the Preliminary Results of the 2010-
2011 Administrative Reviews

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Eastwood, AD/CVD Operations,

Background

    On April 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on certain frozen warmwater shrimp From India 
and Thailand covering the period February 1, 2010, through January 31, 
2011. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, India, and 
Thailand: Notice of Initiation of Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 18157 
(Apr. 1, 2011).

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested. Consistent with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within a 245-day period. The 
deadline for the preliminary results of these administrative reviews is 
currently October 31, 2011. The Department determines that completion 
of the preliminary results of these reviews within the statutory time 
period is not practicable because it recently initiated a cost 
investigation for one respondent in each review and the data necessary 
to conduct these investigations will not be received until late 
September (for Thailand) and early October 2011 (for India). The 
Department thus requires additional time to conduct its cost analysis 
in each of these reviews. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results of these reviews until February 28, 2012. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: September 30, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
