SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: I. Abstract In an effort to remain relevant to the marketplace and optimize our respective operations, the Commercial Service (CS), Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), Census Bureau (Census), and Export-Import Bank (ExIm) have formed a project team to conduct market segmentation research and analysis. The market segmentation is a systematic approach for identifying clusters of companies with similar needs and behavior, and developing service offerings and sales/marketing approaches targeted at segments with the greatest return of investment. The purpose of this initiative is to gain market knowledge and generate statistically valid characterizations about the needs and buying behavior of exporting companies, with a particular focus on moderate exporters (those U.S. firms that currently export, but on a limited or reactive basis and whose international sales comprise less than 10% of total sales or whose international sales growth is less than 10% per year). From this research, VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:46 Jan 12, 2012 Jkt 226001 services, pricing, and messaging may be repositioned to address the exporting needs of small and medium-sized businesses. A telephone survey was chosen over a web survey for the following reasons: (1) Since no databases of current or potential exporters is available from a governmental agency, the third party vendor will purchase a list from Dun and Bradstreet. The list contains contact information including phone numbers but not email addresses; (2) Firms do not offer email address databases, to obtain email addresses, the addresses must be manually extracted from a firm’s Web site; (3) While web surveys are easier to administer and provide a convenient option for the respondent, they do not have as high a completion rate as phone surveys. This is especially true when there is no incentive for the respondent to complete the survey; and (4) The web survey has more potential to be completed by a respondent other than the targeted respondent, i.e. there is no way to verify who completed the survey. II. Method of Collection The CS will contract with a third party vendor (TBD) to conduct surveys to gain insight into the attitudes, needs, and behaviors of moderate exporters. The third party vendor will recruit firms over the phone using lists obtained from other third party vendors. Data collection will be conducted during a telephone survey. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0625–0264. Form Number(s): None. Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a currently approved information collection).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of the new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, 
finished and unfinished from the People's Republic of China. See 
Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished From 
the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review, 76 FR 45777 (August 1, 2011). The period of the review 
is June 1, 2010, through May 31, 2011. The preliminary results of the 
new shipper review are currently due no later than January 23, 2012.

[[Page 2032]]

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty 
order 180 days after the date on which the review is initiated. The 
Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 days if it 
determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department finds that this new shipper review is 
extraordinarily complicated and, therefore, it requires additional time 
to complete the preliminary results. Specifically, the Department 
requires additional time to examine factors of production data that 
were only fully provided this month and then issue supplemental 
questionnaires for any additional information that may be needed. 
Accordingly, we are extending the time for the completion of the 
preliminary results of this review by 120 days, until May 22, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 5, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
