SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On June 28, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published the initiation of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on citric acid
and certain citrate salts (‘‘citric acid’’)
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 76 FR 37781, 37785 (June 28,
2011). This review covers the period
May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011.
The preliminary results of review are
currently due no later than January 31,
2012.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
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.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
citric acid from the PRC within this time
limit. Specifically, additional time is
needed to issue supplemental
questionnaires, analyze questionnaire
responses, and consider relevant
evidence and parties’ comments
regarding selecting appropriate
surrogate values with which to value
factors of production. Therefore, 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 90
days. The preliminary results will now
be due no later than April 30, 2012.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
