SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, 
finished or unfinished, (``TRBs'') from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 44224 
(July 28, 2010). On July 13, 2011, the Department published the 
preliminary results of the review. See Tapered Roller Bearings and 
Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, From the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of the 2009-2010 Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order and Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, 
in Part, 76 FR 41207 (July 13, 2011). The 2009-2010 administrative 
review covers the period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010. The final 
results are currently due no later than November 10, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``Act''), the Department shall make a final determination in 
an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. The Act 
further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 120-day 
period to 180 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the foregoing time.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results of the 2009-2010 administrative review of TRBs from the 
PRC within the 120-day period. We find that we need additional time to 
fully analyze the complicated issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, specifically input consumption allocations and issues relating 
to a successor-in-interest determination. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time 
period for completion of the final results of this review by 30 days to 
December 10, 2011. However, because December 10, 2011, falls on a 
Saturday, a non-business day, the final results will now be due no 
later than December 12, 2011, 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).
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 2, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
