rate range, duty-free to 4%) for the
foreign inputs noted above.

(August 26, 2011) at footnote four. The
preliminary results of review are
currently due no later than January 31,
2012.
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
respondents’ sales practices, factors of
production, and to issue supplemental
questionnaires and review the
responses. 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 90
days until April 30, 2012.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by United States
citizens who engage in a specified
activity (other than commercial fishing)
within a specific geographical region if
certain findings are made and either
regulations are issued or, if the taking is
limited to harassment, a notice of a
proposed authorization is provided to
the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s), will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant), and if
the permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
mitigation, monitoring and reporting of
such takings are set forth. NMFS has
defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as ‘‘* * * an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
established an expedited process by
which citizens of the United States can
