SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 10, 2012, the Department published the preliminary 
results of administrative review for the 2009-2010 period of review 
(POR) of honey from Argentina. See Honey From Argentina: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 1458 
(January 10, 2012) (Preliminary Results). The administrative review 
covers nine producers/exporters of honey from Argentina during the 
POR.\1\

    \1\ See Preliminary Results for a detailed history of the 
companies covered by this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue final results 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 time period to a maximum of 180 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published.
    The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the current time limit and requires additional time 
regarding the issue of which rate to assign to the non-selected 
companies subject to this review. Accordingly, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the final results of this 
administrative review by 30 days (i.e., to June 8, 2012).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 4, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
