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). On November 8, 2011, the 
Department partially extended the deadline for the final results by 30 
days. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or 
Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time 
Limit for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 76 FR 69241 (November 8, 2011). The final results are currently 
due no later than December 12, 2011. The 2009-2010 administrative 
review covers the period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.

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. On November 8, 2011, the 
Department extended the deadline of the final results by 30 days. Thus, 
the Department may extend the deadline of the final results by an 
additional 30 days.
    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 current deadline due to issues requiring additional 
analysis, including consumption allocation factors and a successor-in-
interest determination. Therefore, given the complex issues in this 
case, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is fully extending the time period for completion of the 
final results of this review to January 9, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 1, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
