Background

    On September 12, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register its Preliminary Results of the 
antidumping duty order on certain steel nails (``steel nails'') from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period of review 
(``POR'') is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. The final results 
are currently due no later than January 10, 2012.

    \1\ See Certain Steel Nails From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Intent To 
Rescind New Shipper Review, 76 FR 56147 (September 12, 2011) 
(``Preliminary Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires that the Department issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.

    Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, the Department issued 
questionnaires requesting more information from the tollers/sub-
contractors and extended the deadlines for the case and rebuttal 
briefs. As a result, the Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the process of reviewing the post-preliminary questionnaires, 
case briefs, and surrogate values within the scheduled time limit. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is partially extending the time for the completion of the 
final results of this review by 30 days to February 9, 2012.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 7, 2011.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
