Background

    On December 7, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published its preliminary results of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from the 
Republic of Korea, covering the period November 1, 2009, through 
October 31, 2010. See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe From the 
Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 76369 (December 7, 2011) (``Preliminary 
Results''). Currently, the final results are due no later than April 5, 
2012.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires that the Department issue the final results of an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend the deadline for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published.
    The Department has determined that it requires additional time to 
complete this review. In the Preliminary Results,

[[Page 8809]]

the Department raised an issue regarding the date of sale for U.S. 
transactions. The Department needs additional time to request 
information regarding this issue from the respondents, to analyze the 
information provided, and then to allow for case and rebuttal briefs. 
Thus, it is not practicable to complete this review by April 5, 2012, 
and the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
final results by an additional 60 days to June 4, 2012, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: February 8, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
