review are due no later than January 30,
2011.1
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
extend that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period.
We determine that completion of the
preliminary results of this review within
the 245-day period is not practicable
because the Department requires
additional time to analyze information
pertaining to the respondent’s sales
practices, factors of production, to
review responses to questionnaires, and
to issues supplemental questionnaires.
Therefore, we require additional time to
complete these preliminary results. As a
result, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time period for
completion of the preliminary results of
this review by 120 days until May 31,
2011.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
AGENCY:
On November 19, 2001, the
Department published in the Federal
Register an antidumping duty order on
pure magnesium in granular form from
the PRC.3 On June 28, 2010, CMN
requested that the Department conduct
an expedited CCR of the antidumping
duty order on pure magnesium in
granular form from the PRC to
determine whether CMN is the
successor-in-interest to Minmetals/
CNNMIT. On August 18, 2010, the
Department initiated a CCR but did not
expedite the review, as requested by
CMN, because CMN did not provide
complete supporting documentation or
conclusive evidence for the Department
to evaluate the relevant factors.4
On August 23, 2010, we requested
further information and documentation
from CMN to substantiate its claims to
be the successor-in-interest to
Minmetals/CNNMIT. On September 1,
2010, CMN requested an extension of
time to submit CMN’s response. On
September 2, 2010, the Department
granted CMN’s request. On September
21, 2010, 34 days after the publication
of the initiation of the CCR, CMN
withdrew its request for the CCR. No
other party has commented on this
review or the withdrawal request.
1 Because January 30, 2011, falls on a Sunday, a
non-business day, the current deadline for the
preliminary results will be due no later than
January 31, 2011, the next business day.

Rescission of Changed Circumstances
Review
The Department’s regulations do not
address withdrawal of requests for
CCRs. Under 19 CFR 351.213(d),
however, the Department will rescind
an administrative review in whole ‘‘if a
party that requested a review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the date
of the publication of notice of initiation
of the requested review.’’
Notwithstanding that this provision
pertains to administrative reviews under
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the provision
provides useful guidance for purposes
of determining an appropriate time
frame for requesters to withdraw their
requests for changed circumstance
reviews.5 Thus, we find that CMN’s
withdrawal of its request for the CCR is
timely. Further, we have not expended
significant resources in conducting this
review, and no party has objected to the
request for rescission. Therefore, we are
rescinding the CCR requested by CMN.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to suspend entries of subject
merchandise at the appropriate cash
deposit rate for all entries of pure
magnesium in granular form from the
PRC.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(b) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
