Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the

[[Page 4993]]

Department's regulations require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results of a review within 245 days after the last day of 
the anniversary month of the order or suspension agreement for which 
the administrative review was requested, and the final results of the 
review within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the 
preliminary results is published in the Federal Register. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 
days and to extend the 120-day period to 180 days.
    The Department finds that it requires additional time to complete 
the preliminary results of the administrative review of chlorinated 
isos from the PRC. Specifically, the Department requires further time 
to select an appropriate surrogate country and analyze data sources for 
over forty factors of production. Therefore, because the Department 
finds that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
original deadlines, the Department is extending the time period for 
completion of the preliminary results of this review from 245 days to 
365 days. The revised deadline for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review is now no later than June 29, 2012.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

     Dated: January 25, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
