SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 31, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) initiated an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on small
diameter graphite electrodes from the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the
period February 1, 2010, through
January 31, 2011. See Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Reviews, Requests for Revocation in
Part, and Deferral of Administrative
Review, 76 FR 17825 (March 31, 2011)
(Initiation Notice). We initiated an
administrative review of 160
companies.1
The preliminary results of the review
are currently due no later than October
31, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the
preliminary results within 245 days
after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order for which a review
is requested and the final results within
120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published. If it is
not practicable to complete the review
within these time periods, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the preliminary results to a maximum of
365 days after the last day of the
anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review within the original time
limit because we require additional time
to analyze the appropriateness of the
sales and factors-of-production data
reported. Therefore, we are extending
the time period for issuing the
preliminary results of this review by 95
days until February 3, 2012.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: October 26, 2011.

insufficient. This requirement was retained in the

investigation, an interested party, as
defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
may request, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213, of the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
regulations, that the Department
conduct an administrative review of that
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, finding, or suspended
investigation.
All deadlines for the submission of
comments or actions by the Department
discussed below refer to the number of
calendar days from the applicable
starting date.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews
initiated pursuant to requests made for
the orders identified below, the
Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review. We
intend to release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within five days of publication of the
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 21 days of publication of the
initiation Federal Register notice.
Therefore, we encourage all parties
interested in commenting on respondent
selection to submit their APO
applications on the date of publication
of the initiation notice, or as soon
thereafter as possible. The Department
invites comments regarding the CBP
data and respondent selection within
five days of placement of the CBP data
on the record of the review.
In the event the Department decides
it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, the Department has found
that determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating
antidumping duty rates) require a
substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often
require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, the Department
will not conduct collapsing analyses at
the respondent selection phase of this
review and will not collapse companies
at the respondent selection phase unless
there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a
previous segment of this antidumping
proceeding (i.e., investigation,
administrative review, new shipper
