The preliminary results are currently due no later than March 1, 2012. Statutory Time Limits In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a final determination PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6783 within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 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 determination to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this administrative review within the original time limit because the Department requires additional time to analyze questionnaire responses, issue supplemental questionnaires, and evaluate surrogate value submissions for purposes of the preliminary results. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review by 30 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than March 31, 2012. As that day falls on a Saturday, the preliminary results are due no later than April 2, 2012.1 The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: February 3, 2012.

In the Matter of: Kok Tong Lim, a/k/a Thomas Lim Blk 258A 
Compassvale Road 07-551 Singapore 541258; Order Denying Export 
Privileges

    On October 9, 2009, in the U.S. District Court, District of 
Minnesota, Kok Tong Lim, a/k/a Thomas Lim, (``Lim'') of Singapore, pled 
guilty to one count of violating the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, 
Lim conspired to illegally export wound carbon fiber, an item subject 
to the Regulations and controlled under Export Control Classification 
Numbers (``ECCN'') 1C010 and 1C210, to the China Academy of Space 
Technology. Lim was sentenced for a prison term of time served, which 
amounted to one year imprisonment, and ordered to serve two years of 
supervised release.
    Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or 
``Regulations'') \1\ provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director 
of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director 
of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of 
any person who has been convicted of a violation of the [Export 
Administration Act (``EAA'')], the EAR, or any order, license or 
authorization issued thereunder; any regulation, license, or order 
issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701-1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of the Internal 
Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).'' 15 CFR 766.25(a); see also 
Section 11(h) of the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. Sec.  2410(h). The denial of 
export privileges under this provision may be for a period of up to 10 
years from the date of the conviction. 15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 50 
U.S.C. app. Sec.  2410(h). In addition, Section 750.8 of the 
Regulations states that the Bureau of Industry and Security's Office of

(``BIS'') licenses previously issued in which the person had an 
interest in at the time of his conviction.

    \1\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2011). The Regulations 
issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. 
Sec. Sec.  2401-2420 (2000)) (``EAA''). Since August 21, 2001, the 
EAA has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order 
13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has 
been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent 
being that of August 12, 2011 (76 FR 50661 (August 16, 2011)), has 
continued the Regulations in effect under the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000)).
