Background

    On August 26, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Turkey, covering the 
period July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 53404 (August 26, 2011). The preliminary 
results of review are currently due April 1, 2012.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department 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 365 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable as the Department 
needs additional time to analyze complex issues regarding affiliation 
and knowledge of U.S. destination. Given the complexity of these 
issues, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this 
review by

120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than 
July 30, 2012. The final results continue to be due 120 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 17, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
