SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On October 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (‘‘off-theroad tires’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period, September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 2010). On October 7, 2011, the Department published its preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping order on off-the-road tires from the PRC.

However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 180 days. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within the current deadline because the Department continues to require additional time to analyze issues raised in recent surrogate value submissions, case briefs, and rebuttals. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time limit for completion of the final results of this administrative review by 14 days, until February 18, 2012.

SUMMARY: On May 2, 2011, pursuant to an allegation by AMG Vanadium, Inc. (AMG Vanadium), the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an anticircumvention inquiry to determine whether imports of vanadium pentoxide from the Russian Federation (Russia) that are converted into ferrovanadium in the United States are circumventing the antidumping duty order on ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:54 Feb 07, 2012 Jkt 226001 (ferrovanadium) from Russia.1 We preliminarily determine that the importation of vanadium pentoxide by the Evraz Group,2 which is tollconverted into ferrovanadium in the United States by the Bear Metallurgical Corporation (BMC), prior to sale to unaffiliated customers in the United States, does not constitute circumvention of the aforementioned order, within the meaning of section 781(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). DATES: Effective Date: February 8, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Goldberger or Rebecca Trainor, AD/CVD Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4136 or (202) 482– 4007, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 10, 1995, the Department published an antidumping duty order on ferrovanadium from Russia.3 On February 25, 2011, AMG Vanadium requested that the Department initiate an anticircumvention inquiry pursuant to section 781(a) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.225(c) and (g), to determine whether imports of vanadium pentoxide from Russia, produced by Evraz Group member OAO Vanady-Tula, that are processed into ferrovanadium in the United States under a tolling agreement with the unaffiliated processor, BMC, and sold by Evraz Group member EMNA to unaffiliated U.S. customers, are circumventing the antidumping duty order on ferrovanadium from Russia. AMG Vanadium submitted additional information in support of its request on March 16, 2011. On May 2, 2011, the Department initiated the anticircumvention inquiry with respect to the Evraz Group’s imports of vanadium pentoxide which are toll-converted into ferrovanadium by BMC in the United States. See Initiation Notice. In June 2011, the Department issued questionnaires to the Evraz Group and BMC. The Evraz Group and BMC responded to their respective questionnaires in July 2011. The Department issued supplemental questionnaires to each company in 1 See Initiation of Anticircumvention Inquiry on Antidumping Duty Order on Ferrovanadium and Nitrided Vanadium From the Russian Federation, 76 FR 26243 (May 6, 2011) (Initiation Notice). 2 The Evraz Group includes OAO Vanady-Tula, East Metals S.A., and East Metals N.A. (EMNA). 3 See Notice of Antidumping Order: Ferrovanadium and Nitrided Vanadium From the Russian Federation, 60 FR 35550 (July 10, 1995). PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6537 August 2011. The Evraz Group and BMC responded to these supplemental questionnaires in August and September 2011, respectively. In September 2011, the Department conducted verifications at EMNA and BMC. In October 2011, the Department issued verification reports.4 AMG Vanadium submitted comments for consideration in the preliminary determination of this inquiry on December 19, 2011. On January 6, 2012, the Evraz Group and BMC submitted comments in response to AMG Vanadium’s submission. Scope of the Order The products subject to this order are ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium, regardless of grade, chemistry, form or size, unless expressly excluded from the scope of this order. Ferrovanadium includes alloys containing ferrovanadium as the predominant element by weight (i.e., more weight than any other element, except iron in some instances) and at least 4 percent by weight of iron. Nitrided vanadium includes compounds containing vanadium as the predominant element, by weight, and at least 5 percent, by weight, of nitrogen. Excluded from the scope of the order are vanadium additives other than ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium, such as vanadiumaluminum master alloys, vanadium chemicals, vanadium waste and scrap, vanadium-bearing raw materials, such as slag, boiler residues, fly ash, and vanadium oxides. The products subject to this order are currently classifiable under subheadings 2850.00.20, 7202.92.00, 7202.99.50.40, 8112.40.30.00, and 8112.40.60.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope is dispositive. Scope of the Anticircumvention Inquiry The product subject to this anticircumvention inquiry is vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) from Russia, which is usually in a granular form and may contain other substances, including silica (SiO2), manganese, and sulfur, and which is converted into ferrovanadium in the United States. Such merchandise is classifiable under subheading 2825.30.0010 of the HTSUS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``off-the-road tires'') from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period, September 1, 
2009, through August 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 
2010). On October 7, 2011, the Department published its preliminary 
results of the administrative review of the antidumping order on off-
the-road tires from the PRC. See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road 
Tires from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 
2009-2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Intent to Rescind, 
in Part, 76 FR 62356 (October 7, 2011). The final results are currently 
due no later than, February 4, 2012.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''),

[[Page 6537]]

requires the Department to issue the final results in an administrative 
review within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results 
are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 180 days.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the current deadline because the 
Department continues to require additional time to analyze issues 
raised in recent surrogate value submissions, case briefs, and 
rebuttals. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, we are extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results of this administrative review by 14 days, until February 18, 
2012. However, because February 18, 2012, falls on a Saturday and the 
first weekday thereafter is a federal holiday, the final results are 
now due no later than February 21, 2012. See Notice of Clarification: 
Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative 
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 
70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: February 2, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
