Background
On September 22, 2009, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) initiated the first
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain steel
nails from the PRC encompassing 158
companies for the period, January 23,
2008, to July 31, 2009. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 74 FR 48224,
(September 22, 2009) (‘‘Initiation
Notice’’). On February 16, 2010, the
Department issued a memorandum that
tolled the deadlines for all Import
Administration cases by seven calendar
days due to the recent Federal
Government closure. See Memorandum
for the Record from Ronald Lorentzen,
DAS for Import Administration, Tolling
of Administrative Deadlines as a Result
of the Government Closure During the
Recent Snowstorm, dated February 12,
2010. As a result, the preliminary
results are currently due on May 10,
2010.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1) direct the Department to
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:23 Mar 25, 2010
Jkt 220001
issue the preliminary results in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the order for which the administrative
review was requested. The Department
may, however, extend the deadline for
completion of the preliminary results of
an administrative review to 365 days if
it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period. See section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(h)(2).
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results within this time limit. The
Department is extending the deadline
because the Department twice had to
select an additional respondent for
individual examination, which has
significantly delayed the receipt of the
original questionnaire responses.
Additionally, the Department requires
further time to issue and receive
responses to supplemental
questionnaires as well as to receive and
analyze surrogate country and surrogate
value comments. We are therefore
extending the time for the completion of
the preliminary results of this review by
120 days to September 7, 2010. The
final results continue to be due 120 days
after the publication of the preliminary
results.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: March 22, 2010.
