SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 27, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating 
service valves for Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang DunAn Hetian 
Metal Co., Ltd. for the period April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 76 FR 30912 (May 27, 2011). The preliminary results of review 
are currently due no later than December 31, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the 
Department requires additional time to analyze information pertaining 
to the respondents' sales practices, factors of production, as well as 
issue and review responses to

[[Page 77480]]

supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, we require additional time to 
complete these preliminary results. As a result, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time 
period for completion of the preliminary results of this review by 90 
days until March 30, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 6, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
