SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 27, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain orange juice from Brazil. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 23545 (Apr. 27, 
2011). The period of review is March 1, 2010, through February 28, 
2011, and the preliminary results are currently due no later than 
December 1, 2011. The review covers three producers/exporters of the 
subject merchandise to the United States.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review of an antidumping order within 245 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the 
order. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend the 245-day period up to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to 
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we require more time to issue 
supplemental questionnaires to certain of the respondents and analyze 
their responses. Therefore, we have fully extended the deadline for 
completing

the preliminary results until March 30, 2012. The deadline for the 
final results of the review continues to be 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 14, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
