Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), requires the 
Department to make a final determination in an administrative review of 
an antidumping duty order 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 120 day period to 180 days 
after publication of the preliminary results (or 300 days if the 
Department has not extended the time limit for the preliminary 
results).

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the current deadline because it continues to 
require additional time to evaluate the arguments and submissions made 
by interested parties following the Preliminary Results. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
extending the time period for completing the final results of the 
instant administrative review until August 19, 2012. Because August 19, 
2012 falls on a weekend, the final results are now due no later than 
August 20, 2012.\4\

Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to 
the Tariff Act of 1920, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).

    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i) of the Act.
