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 evaluate relevant evidence and parties' comments regarding the 
selection of appropriate surrogate values with which to value the 
factors of production. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is fully extending the time 
period for completion of the preliminary results of this review by an 
additional 30 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later 
than May 30, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.
