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). On 
September 16, 2011, the Department extended the deadline to issue the 
final results.\1\ The final results of review are currently due on 
November 21, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Pure Magnesium From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Time for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 59111 (September 23, 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 by 
the current deadline is not practicable. After interested parties 
submitted case and rebuttal briefs, the Department placed new 
information on the record \2\ and allowed parties to submit comments 
thereon,\3\ and received additional comments and information. The 
Department requires additional time to consider this information and 
argument.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See the Department's Memorandum to the File, ``The 2006-2007 
Financial Statements for Madras Aluminum Company (``MALCO'') and 
Infobanc Truck Freight Rate Data,'' dated October 4, 2011.
    \3\ See the Department's Memorandum to the File, ``Soliciting 
Comments on the 2006-2007 Financial Statements for Madras Aluminum 
Company (``MALCO'') and Infobanc Truck Freight Rate Data'' dated 
November 1, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are again extending the time period 
for issuing the final results of the administrative review by 
additional 15 days, or until December 5, 2011, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are publishing this notice pursuant to sections 751(a) and 
777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 7, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
