SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 31, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the initiation of administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms 
from the People's Republic of China, covering the period of February 1, 
2010, through January 31, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping 
Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part, and Deferral of 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 17825 (March 31, 2011). The current 
deadline for the preliminary results of this review is October 31, 
2011.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department complete the preliminary results of 
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. 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 limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time frame 
because comments from interested parties have necessitated the 
solicitation and subsequent analysis of additional information from 
both respondents: Blue Field (Sichuan) Food Industrial Co., Ltd and 
Dujiangyan Xingda Foodstuff Co., Ltd. This additional information 
covers a wide range of issues including the proper method for valuing 
numerous production inputs. The Department requires additional time to 
gather and analyze the additional information necessary to complete 
this review. Thus, the Department finds it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the original time limit (i.e., by October 
31, 2011).
    Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review by 
120 days (i.e., until February 28, 2012), in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. We intend to issue the final results no later 
than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results notice.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 20, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
