SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 27, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating 
service valves from the People's Republic of China for the period April 
1, 2010, through March 31, 2011.\1\ On December 13, 2011, the 
Department extended the deadline for the preliminary results by 90 
days, to March 30, 2012.\2\

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 30912 (May 27, 2011).
    \2\ See Frontseating Service Valves from the People's Republic 
of China: Extension of Time for the Preliminary Results of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 77479 (December 13, 
2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary 
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review by March 30, 2012, is not practicable because the Department 
requires additional time to analyze information pertaining to the 
respondents' sales practices, factors of production, as well as issue 
and review responses to supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this 
administrative review by 30 additional days, until April 29, 2012. 
However, because April 29, 2012, falls on a weekend, the preliminary 
results are now due no later than April 30, 2012.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 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 in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 1, 2012.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
