SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 26, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the initiation of administrative 
review of the antidumping duty orders on, inter alia, purified 
carboxymethylcellulose from Finland and the Netherlands 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 current 
deadline for the preliminary results of these reviews is April 1, 2012.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department complete the preliminary results of 
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. 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 limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested.
    The Department finds it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of these reviews within the original time frame 
because the Department requires additional time to gather and analyze 
the information submitted on the record. Thus, the Department finds it 
is not practicable to complete these reviews within the original time 
limit (i.e., April 1, 2012). Accordingly, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of these 
administrative reviews by 120 days (i.e., until July 30, 2012), in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2). We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 
days after publication of the preliminary results notice.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
