SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 3, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on light-walled rectangular pipe 
and tube from Mexico, covering the period of August 1, 2010, to July 
31, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 76 FR 
61076 (October 3, 2011). The current deadline for the preliminary 
results of this review is May 2, 2012.

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 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 245-day time period for the 
preliminary results up to 365 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    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 additional 
information and analyze the information submitted on the record by both 
mandatory respondents, Regiomontana de Perfiles S.A. de C.V. 
(Regiopytsa) and Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero). Therefore, the 
Department is fully extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of this administrative review until no later than 
August 30, 2012, which is 365 days from the last day of the anniversary 
month of this order. 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.
