SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 28, 2011, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel 
pipe and tube from Turkey covering the period May 1, 2010, through 
April 30, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 37781 
(June 28, 2011). The preliminary results are currently due no later 
than January 31, 2012.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results to up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because we have 
complex technical issues relating to quarterly cost, which require 
additional information and analysis for this administrative review. Due 
to these reasons and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary 
results of the review by 120 days. The preliminary results are now due 
no later than May 31, 2012. Unless extended, the final results continue 
to be due 120 days after publication of the preliminary results, 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 11, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
