SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``off-the-road tires'') from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period, September 1, 
2009, through August 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 
2010). On October 7, 2011, the Department published its preliminary 
results of the administrative review of the antidumping order on off-
the-road tires from the PRC. See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road 
Tires from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 
2009--2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Intent to 
Rescind, in Part, 76 FR 62356 (October 7, 2011). On February 8, 2012, 
the Department extended the time limit for the final results by 14 days 
to February 18, 2012. See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from 
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 
the Final Results of the 2009-2010 Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 6536 (February 8, 2012).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. 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 period to a maximum of 
180 days.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the current deadline because the 
Department continues to require additional time to analyze issues 
raised in recent surrogate value submissions, case briefs, and 
rebuttals. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, we are extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results of this administrative review by 14 additional days, until 
March 3, 2012. However, because March 3, 2012, falls on a weekend, the 
final results are now due no later than March 5, 2012. See Notice of 
Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: February 15, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
