SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on solid urea from the Russian Federation for 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).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested. 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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review by the current deadline of April 1, 2012, 
because we require additional time to analyze a detailed response to a 
supplemental questionnaire that was submitted on March 7, 2012. In 
addition, the numerous extensions we have granted for filing various 
responses has contributed to us requiring additional time to complete 
the preliminary results.
    Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by 75 days, until June 15, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: March 20, 2012.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
