SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 28, 2011, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an antidumping duty administrative review for, inter alia, light-
walled rectangular pipe and tube from Turkey for the May 1, 2010, 
through April 30, 2011, period of review (POR). See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 37781 (June 28, 2011) (Initiation 
Notice). This review covers Noksel Celik Boru Sanayi A.S. (Noksel). The 
preliminary results for this administrative review are due no later 
than January 31, 2012.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit because of significant 
issues that require additional time to evaluate. These include 
complicated issues involving Noksel's sales terms, use of multiple 
currencies in both markets, duty drawback claims, and certain movement 
expenses. The Department requires additional time to analyze 
sufficiently information submitted by the respondent in this 
administrative review. Accordingly, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this 
administrative review until no later than May 30, 2012, which is 120 
days from the January 31, 2012, deadline and less than 365 days after 
the last day of the anniversary month of the order for which this 
review was requested. The final results continue to be due 120 days 
after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
351.213(d)(4) of the Department's regulations and

sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 20, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
