SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 7, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on certain kitchen appliance shelving and 
racks from the People's Republic of China, covering the period January 
7, 2009, through December 31, 2009. See Certain Kitchen Appliance 
Shelving and Racks From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary 
Results of the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 62364 
(October 7, 2011) (``Preliminary Results''). In the Preliminary Results 
we stated that we would issue our final results for the countervailing 
duty administrative review no later than 120 days after the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Results. See Preliminary Results, 76 FR 
at 62373.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days of the publication of

[[Page 83]]

the Preliminary Results. If it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend this deadline to a maximum of 180 days.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    The Department has determined that completion of the final results 
of this review within the original time period (i.e., by February 4, 
2012) is not practicable. The Department needs additional time to 
conduct a post-preliminary analysis of certain subsidy programs. See 
Preliminary Results, 76 FR at 62370, 62372. Therefore, the Department 
is extending the time limit for completion of the final results to not 
later than April 4, 2012, which is 180 days from the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Results, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 27, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
